minus-squareIronKrill@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoWhat the parent comment is saying is the implication is that without Elon’s money, he wouldn’t consider EVs. So same meaning.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoSaying that he “has no choice” now doesn’t really sound like he’s the one in control of the decision. That’s definitely not the same thing.
minus-squareprolelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-25 months agoNo, he said the converse. “Opposite” would necessarily suggest a different outcome (i.e. Musk not beholden to Trump). (Haven’t had a logic course in literal decades, so maybe someone can correct me if I’m misremembering. I forget how to draw those logic square thingies…)
