Elon Musk Floated the Idea of a Carbon Tax to Trump, an Official Says

[Phygon]

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;51733229]It isn't, Elon wants to hold a monopoly on the car battery industry so he can be the new equivalent to the oil barons. It's why he was so eager to give his car design patents away, get other companies to make cars that use his designs and then he hold a monopoly on the batteries for them.

A carbon tax might not be a bad idea but I doubt his motives were pure, petrol is his competition after all.[/QUOTE]

It's not a monopoly if nothing is preventing other people from making the same product other than the fact that they haven't figured out to.
It's just capitalism 101.
