Elon Musk departing Trump's advisory council
Trump announced his decision during a speech in The White Rose Garden.
"As of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country," Trump said, adding "I cannot in good conscience support a deal that punishes the United States."
Musk had promised he'd be leaving the president's advisors if Trump were to withdraw from the Paris climate deal.
And that he did.
This is fantastic, this man keeps his promises.
Good to know:
Musk served on Trump’s economic advisory board, as well as his manufacturing jobs initiative council.
During Obamas administration the US had pledged to cut emissions within a decade by at least 26% compared to 2005 levels
As a matter of principle Disney CEO Bob Iger is also resigning his position in the council
Trump is an idiot and a puppet. What we are looking at are the wishes and greed of President Steven Bannon. I vote Elon Musk for president.
Pretty much all presidents are puppets. And sure if a president must be had, Elon would be an ideal choice. But I'd rather not have a centralized power structure at all such as the government.
I hear you there. Good post. Keep it up.
America! Get rid of this guy already before it's too late! XD
As they say, "you can't please everybody".
As for the media and the real power brokers around the globe, Trump seems to be their #1 enemy.
Perhaps, I think nobody is certain how they feel about Trump LOL. I don't think he even knows himself.
Musk is nothing but a leech, sucking the blood out of working class Americans - good riddance.
Great post inity.
SirKnight.
Explain. Musk is the one who's actually trying to change things for the better. He's setting an example for others by simply not taking part anymore.
Hi Inity - link to explanation here mate. SirKnight.
