    And you think Elon Musk, the man who owns a car making company, wasn’t trying to sell more cars?

      Well, one implies malice, and the other pushing for a better more futuristic future.

      And he has a history of pushing for an idealistic futuristic future, with pushing spacex to figure out how to land rockets or how to make a profitable EV, so ya, I’m willing to say there’s a likely chance he was honest in thinking it was a bad idea and California, the home of silicon valley and advanced technology could maybe come up with something better.

      But we’ll never really know.
