People left Twitter for Truth Social BEFORE Musk bought it, in large part because they were being de-platformed. When your options to express your OPINION or worse actual FACTS become limited, you squeeze folks out into other spaces. Things started to fall-over, all-over when "they" tried to deplatorm Rogan on Spotify I think it was. Now we have TS and Rumble etc... I had stopped looking at twitter, I occasionally look around now. It's really easy to defend "Free Speech" you like. Much harder if you don't. "Are they doing anything illegal?" - Musk, "No but it's wrong/mean/etc (p)..." - Lemon. Be very damn careful about what you ask for you might get it and not like the results. If I make a system that can shut you up because I don't like what you say, that same system can be used to shut me up as well at some point.
Same BS happens here with the EV arguments. They are not for everyone, and any technology that is superior will eventually either win out or be displaced by another superior one. Beta vs VHS, Sony gets a bit prudish, VHS wins but it's a short lived victory until the DVD comes out. Astonishingly none of it happened with the involvement of government. I might mention the Ford Model T had a 10gal fuel tank and a top speed of ~40MPH. I doubt it would go 200 miles on a tank of fuel. I know "driving range" became a thing from the 50's on ususally by putting very large fuel tanks in the vehicles, and pushing economy over 10MPG. Today? 600 Miles in my old 2016 Sonata PHEV.
The original Nissan Leaf, and the even earlier EV's were pretty abysmal, no range, no ride, awful. Over time Tesla has shown that a reasonable range vehicle can be mass-produced and sold at a profit. Love it or hate it the technology is viable at this point, and tons of research dollars are going into battery tech. This is so infantile at this point it's hard to say, but like die reductions in semi-conductors fossil fuel production is at some point going to hit limits we can't figure a cheap way around.
Solar / battery / ev tech really dovetails to ease the transition to alternate energy resources. I doubt there will ever be a 100% transition, but until/unless someone figures out something better it's fairly simple to generate electricity from a wide variety of means. We've been taking advantage of this for the last 100 years by creating numerous diverse electrical appliances and devices. It's a lot simpler to make a nuclear plant that makes electricity you put in a battery to drive a car, than make a nuclear powered car. We did have wood/steam powered cars at one time, and coal / wood fired boilers in ships, and all of it moved to petroleum based distillates, because it was easier to focus talent to support, engineer, and build smaller and better engines that used common fuel. This will happen in the transportation industry, as it has already happened in the appliance industry. Should we ban gas stoves? Hell no! Are the majority of stoves sold today electric? Yes! Cleaner simpler common configuration and installation with wire instead of piping a volatile gas into your house. You live in the Tundra somewhere? I'd stick with gas/oil heat for now, but some of the compressors these days suck heat out of ice, so I dunno 10 years from now. Does the government need to stick their nose in? No. People will figure out what works best for them and buy it. I also laugh when people talk about cold affecting EV's. This was also true of ICE vehicles up until the 1960's. In WW2 Russia diesel vehicles were dead in the water because the fuel turned to jelly. Anti-freeze and other coolant/fuel additives later . . . Fuel line heaters, ... , "Prestone" aka ethylene glycol, cracked blocks frozen water-pumps, ad nauseum. These were technical challenges that were gradually over time conquered, as will many of the EV defeciencies. So for now instead of not moving at all because of a cracked radiator, I can't go as far as I could if it was warm in my EV. Meh. Same shirts different cleaners.
