Elon Musk, head of world’s largest EV company, now says we need more oil and gas

Elon Musk — the man whose Tesla and Tesla Solar have basically devoted their existence to competing with gas-guzzling cars, oil, and coal, and which briefly reached a market cap of $1 trillion and delivered nearly 1 million EVs last year — is now publicly in favor of increasing oil and gas production.
He tweeted late Friday:
Hate to say it, but we need to increase oil & gas output immediately.
