i was talking about EV not smartphone wrt cobalt.

> We all have to pick and choose our battles

yes agreed why not choose the most egregious then if you are taking a moral stance. Children digging out cobalt with their bare hands for your EV should outrank whatever stupid stuff elon is doing. no?

Right but if there's a choice of 2 EVs without Congolese cobalt, you can choose the one that isn't Tesla.

But anyway, humans aren't perfectly rational beings. Elon being a nob on twitter is more immediate to many people than abstract children in the Congo. I'm not saying that's morally correct, but it's how people work.

yea thats true. I am still hoping that one of these EV company heads acknowledges this some day and can be addressed.
