The moderators don't seem to want this to show up on HN. A previous attempt at posting it was removed in short order.

He also accompanied it with claiming:

"the future of civilization is assured".

Which feels like a call out to the great replacement theory.

You know the famously anti-Semitic white nationalist one he publicly agreed with on Twitter just about a year ago and had to go on an apology tour to Auschwitz as a result and claimed he was naive about anti-Semitism.

But, if you're not interested in the whole genocide thing, it also seems relevant that he was on stage welcoming a new US Administration that is actively working against his main business's stated mission:

> Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. To achieve our mission, we're building a world powered by solar, enabled by battery storage and transported by electric vehicles (EV).
