A short while ago President Trump kept his promise to remove the US from the Paris Climate Accord. (Read this for some help understanding why it’s not just a good idea but an excellent idea.) Moments after, visionary rent-seeker Elon Musk announced he is leaving two of Mr. Trump’s economic advisory councils.
Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.

Bilking taxpayers under the false fear of man-made climate change is real. You’d know. You’ve made a fortune off it. But creative destruction and market forces are also a reality. Without a sympathetic water-carrier in the White House, you may find yourself subject to both some day. At least I hope so.
