In a surprise statement, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has revealed his opposition to electric cars, despite the support of billionaire Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, who has been a vocal advocate for electric vehicles.
Speaking at the National Conference of Black Journalists in Chicago, Trump said that he disagrees with the Democratic government's push for all cars to be 100% electric. "I'm against everyone having an electric car," Trump stated.
Trump cited the abundance of oil and natural gas reserves in the United States as a reason for his opposition to electric cars. "We have more gas and liquid gold under our feet than any country. More than Saudi Arabia, more than Russia. I want to use what we have, I want to lower prices and costs," he said.
Musk, who has been a strong supporter of Trump's presidential campaign, has announced his financial and moral support for the Republican candidate. However, Trump's opposition to electric cars appears to contradict Musk's stance on the issue.
The Trump campaign has been criticized for its perceived lack of understanding on environmental issues, and this statement is likely to spark further controversy. Environmental advocates and supporters of electric vehicles have been pushing for increased adoption of clean energy technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
Trump's statement is also seen as a blow to the electric vehicle industry, which has been gaining momentum in recent years. Electric cars are considered a key component of a sustainable transportation system, offering cleaner air quality, reduced noise pollution, and lower operating costs.
It remains to be seen how this statement will affect Trump's popularity among voters, particularly among environmentalists and those who support clean energy initiatives.
