The Trolling of Elon Musk: How US Conservatives are Attacking Green Tech

He is the charismatic Silicon Valley entrepreneur who believes his many
companies - including the electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors, solar
power firm Solar City, and SpaceX, which makes reusable space rockets can
help resist man-made climate change.
.
South African-born Elon Musk is a billionaire green evangelist, a bete
noire of the fossil fuels industry who talks about colonising Mars and
believes it may be possible that were living in a computer simulation.
.
But having been feted by the Obama administration, he now faces an
extraordinary barrage of attacks from rightwing thinktanks, lobbyists,
websites and commentators. The character of the assault says much about
which way the political wind is blowing in Washington something that will
have consequences that stretch far beyond the US.
.
One of Musks most trenchant critics has been the journalist Shepard
Stewart, who writes for a clutch of conservative online news sites. In
several articles in September, not long after a SpaceX rocket exploded,
Stewart attacked Musk for receiving billions in government subsidies to
make rockets that immediately self destruct and branded him a national
disgrace. As Musk fought back on Twitter, it became apparent that Stewart
was an invention. Even his photo byline had been doctored from a LinkedIn
profile of a tech entrepreneur. Definitely a fake, Gavin Wax,
editor-in-chief of the Liberty Conservative, one of the websites that
published Stewart, admitted to Bloomberg.
.
The revelation triggered several theories: that Stewart was created by
speculators shorting shares in Musks companies, or that he was invented by
rival rocket companies keen to bring SpaceX down to earth. But Musk may be
reassured to learn that Stewarts attacks on him werent that personal.
Rather, they appear to be part of a wider agenda against big government,
the environmental lobby and liberals in general an agenda reinvigorated
by the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency. In recent months, Stewart
has twice attacked Oregons former governor, John Kitzhaber, a supporter of
ObamaCare and solar energy who was forced to resign from office, saying
his appearance at a healthcare conference was like having Bernie Madoff
heading an upcoming conference on retirement savings.
.
He has also taken aim at Louisiana senator Bill Cassidy for introducing an
act that compels online contact lens sellers to seek approval from
optometrists before selling their products. And he has lambasted the Obama
administration for banning payday loans despite the fact that there is an
overwhelming need and positive reception for them.
.
Stewarts protean efforts have been erased from the internet. But the
online attacks on Musk continue. A website, stopelonfromfailingagain.com,
regularly publishes negative stories about him. The site is similar to
another anti-Musk site, whoiselonmusk.com, created by an organisation
called The Center for Business and Responsible Government (CBRG), which
describes itself as a non-partisan organisation dedicated to highlighting
cronyism and its effect on American taxpayers and policy and seems not to
exist anywhere but cyberspace. Both sites were set up around the same time
this summer and are registered to a domain-name allocation company in
Arizona.
