"with 1 trillion dollars, Elon Musk could-"

He doesn't have one trillion dollars. He's not going to have one trillion dollars. The company promising to give him one trillion dollars isn't worth one trillion dollars. It's not going to be worth one trillion dollars.

“Here’s the thing, Bill Gates: There is no “patch” for the climate crisis. And there is no way to reboot the planet if you crash it. The only safe and reliable way out when you find yourself in a climate hole is to stop digging—and burning—fossil fuels.”
You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Cars are a huge financial drain on Americans. There are cheaper ways to move people around cities. Imagine a future where every household has an extra $10K+ per year to spend. That future is possible.
Why car insurance costs have soared (and what drivers are doing about it)
Car insurance premiums have increased at twice the rate of overall inflation. They've stabilized, at least for now, but more than half of Americans say the costs are painful.

Very succinct summary of the Law of Induced Traffic:

"Reality check: Expanding a highway doesn't necessarily reduce traffic delays, researchers have found. Instead, more drivers show up to try to take advantage of the increased supply of roadway, and the traffic problem continues."
We're spending more time stuck in traffic than ever
The average U.S. car commuter is spending a record 63 hours annually stuck in traffic.

‘At one end, the wealthiest 0.1% emit an average of 2.2 tonnes of CO2 every day, equivalent to the weight of a rhinoceros or an SUV.

At the other, a citizen of Somalia burns off just 82 grams of CO2 each day, barely the mass of a single tomato or half a cup of rice.’
