Subsidize toys for the rich ? With a good story about why it's saving the planet ?
This is like claiming parks in big cities are good for the environment. Well they are. For about 2 blocks or so. And especially good for the house values around there. Which is of course the real reason they're built.
You're acting as if the purpose of environmental policy is to rescue the planet, and there's your mistake. Giving free money to rich people with lots of influence is the only factor in those decisions.
If you check, you'll find that all of Elon Musk's companies after paypal share this characteristic. They are barely working at all, and there's no way in hell they'd work without this free money. So really, this is about transfering your taxes to Elon Musk's company so mostly him, and of course quite a few rich people can get free money and tell a story to themselves about the environment.
