Ok full disclosure, I do recycle, eat less meat (because of the environment not because I don’t really really miss it), walk/bike/scoot wherever I go if feasible before firing my 8 year old Prius, make everything I can at home (much to the detriment of my wife’s good humour hahaha), etc

However, your analogy does not hold. I am not killing myself for the environment but if I did, it would be like cleaning a grain of sand off a beach… All of us, together, may make a noticeable hole in some beach… but Musk alone is driving truck loads full of sand back into this beach and multiple other beaches we have not even started to clean yet.

Attempting to significantly reduce (much less reverse) climate change from the consumer side is like trying to stop a runaway train by blowing on it
