Literally the guy who is behind spearheading EVs in the US has gone out of his way to kill transit projects.
Plenty of people parrot Musk’s talking points, and his talking points undermine public transit.
I don’t know how you dont include the man who bought and then made the first US EV company flourish. His opinions and statements have deep impact on public discourse, sadly.
That’s a psychopath with a personal vendetta against a train that won’t profit him, not a person claiming that electric cars are better than electric buses.
Nobody was saying electric cars were better than electric buses …
