Oil companies (via “independent film makers”) have been paying influencers to shit on Tesla, ever since Tesla became a viable threat to big oil and legacy auto. Nothing new here.

Big oil already has massive investments in lithium. Big oil is already ready to transition to big lithium, they're just squeezing out the last bits of cash they can in oil.
Did anyone think that as EVs became popular that industrial giants like ExxonMobil would just disappear? No, big oil is already positioned to be with us another 100+ years as they strip mine the planet for lithium.
Mass transit is what was always needed, but there's little to no profit there. With EVs, it's just the same song and dance as oil but with batteries this time.

Nobody told them that lithium batteries aren’t that future proof…

You’re the one simping for the companies that are making the planet unliveable for future generations for their own profit.
Plenty of evidence for what I claimed, google it yourself if you want:
