Elon Musk is taking your good intentions when you buy one of his so-called zero emission cars, and he's taking the pollution that you agreed to pay extra to give up, and he is selling that to General Motors and other car makers as “emissions credits.” When you buy a Tesla, that allows General Motors to sell a Tahoe which gets 15 miles per gallon and is a major pollution machine.

Elon Musk is not in the car business; he is a pollution salesman.
