Elon is just stirring shit up all over to make twitter the place to see the shit show ,

he will come back , say "Twitter is more used (by humans) than ever before" see how good I am , and then try and tuck it under the Halo mission distraction "free speech" in this case (human survival with space x and the mars mirage) (Tesla save the planet mirage)

Good enough marketing plan for me from the Elon playbook

All absolutely mirages, but Tesla is probably a net positive for the environment. Fossil fuel emissions from cars produce a lot more greenhouse gasses than the electricity used to charge Teslas (even accounting for the fact that much of that electricity comes from fossil fuels as those plants burn it more efficiently and a good chunk is from green energy). Lithium mining sucks, but it is nowhere near as significant as automobile emissions.

Again, Elon is not doing anything he does for the noble goal of saving the planet. He says whatever he wants to market his businesses (or to feed his ego/beg for attention)
