Elon Musk, in an interview with Donald Trump, urged a less demonizing approach to the oil and gas industry while advocating for a gradual transition to sustainable energy.
The world should stop vilifying the oil and gas industry, Elon Musk told Donald Trump in an interview on X, reiterating previous similar calls. “My views on climate change and oil gas are pretty moderate,” Musk told Trump during the conversation. “I don’t think we should vilify the oil and gas industry and the people that have worked very hard in those industries to provide the necessary energy to support the economy,” added the Tesla CEO billionaire, who has endorsed Trump for president.
But like without vilifying the oil and gas industry and without causing hardship in the short term,” Musk added. That’s not the first time the billionaire has called on the public to stop “demonizing” fossil fuels. He did that at the end of last year when he told an Italian right-wing summit that it was time to be “pragmatic” and “sensible”, instead of demonizing oil and gas–at least in the medium term. Donald Trump, for his part, has been a staunch supporter of the U.S.
