I lose sleep over climate change all the time and I don't get this. Surely there are targets more worthy of these protesters' energy.

Losing forest isn't good, of course, but Tesla is what made the current EV revolution, and its associated positive potential for CO2 reductions, possible. Before that it was in the realm of science fiction. Not that it solves all our problems, of course, far from it, but it's a huge step.

Musk has the right of it in this case IMO. I know he can be abrasive, and his Twitter/X misadventure and right-wing conspiracy leanings are saddening but, for me, his positive contributions far outweigh those issues.

It's all more ironic as it's happening in Germany, the land of Porsche's and Audis

Yeah, I'm also not sure why the group is characterized as "left-wing", as it seems to play more into a regressive right-wing agenda.
