Elon Musk Overrules Biden: ‘Increase Oil & Gas Output Immediately’

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has overruled Democrat President Joe Biden and called on the United States to increase domestic oil and gas output in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Musk acknowledged that his calls would see his electric car company, Tesla, would take a hit from boosting fossil fuel output.

“Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately,” Musk said.

“Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures.

“Obviously, this would negatively affect Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil & gas exports.

“Hold Strong Ukraine,” Musk added in a tweet.

“And also my sympathies to the great people of Russia, who do not want this

“SpaceX reprioritized to cyber defense & overcoming signal jamming.

“Will cause slight delays in Starship & Starlink V2.

“Starlink has been told by some governments (not Ukraine) to block Russian news sources.

“We will not do so unless at gunpoint. Sorry to be a free speech absolutist.”

“Founder of electric car company says drill baby drill!” AEI Senior Fellow Marc Thiessen said.

“Wisdom from man whose company would not be helped by what he is recommending,” Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume said.
