      It’s not just the rich. It’s everyone who takes a car to work instead of bike, it’s everyone who takes an Uber or even a bus instead of walking a mile, it’s everyone who demands that stores open on time and packages are delivered on time.

      It’s hypocritical to hold Musk to a standard that nobody else meets.

          It’s still justifying pollution for your convenience. And a lot more CO2 has been emitted for the convenience of people who aren’t rich.

          If you live in the US, you are responsible for 3-10X the emissions of people in other countries. You can’t justify that by pointing to Musk.

            I see, so I can’t criticize Musk for adding lead to the atmosphere for his personal convenience because I have a carbon footprint.

            Logical.

              Singling someone out for criticism when you do the same is the definition of hypocrisy.

                  You’ve never flown on a commercial aircraft? Or bought anything that was transported by air?

                    Are you saying those aircraft wouldn’t have flown if I didn’t specifically do those things? Because otherwise, again, not the same.
