I cut beef out of my diet; it’s not as good for the earth as going vegan, but beef is so much worse than other meats that it’s about as good as going vegetarian. And even if you still eat some beef, eating less is the best way to reduce your impact.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice).

1. Refused to violate the law.
2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.
