I had exactly the same theory for 2. He seems to genuinely want to save humanity (reusable rockets, electric vehicles etc) and so converting right wingers to electric would fit the goal

You people still exist?

"Had" is past tense. "Theory" is "a supposition or system of ideas indended to explain something". I didn't say that I thought that was the most likely theory. I thought lemmy was supposed to be able to hold a nuanced conversation?

You can't be serious

Electric vehicles aren't meant to save humanity. They are meant to save the car. If we removed all gas vehicles off the road right that wouldn't even stop 30 percent of emissions. The only way to save humanity at this point is to stop capitalism. As long as we continue to expect the market to find a solution to a problem that has no profit motivator we will never save humanity. Elon included.

Ahem, if we removed all gas vehicles from the road right now, including farm vehicles, humanity would starve to death within a few months. Some subsistence farmers in developing countries that don't need fertilizer would survive.

But it would definitely be the end of industrial society.

Emissions from transportation are a large proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, so it absolutely does make sense to decarbonize them. This isn't really debatable. It's been part of the ICC strategy and negotiations for decades now.
