Coal-mining boss: ‘Tesla is a fraud’
Published: Oct 10, 2016 6:26 p.m. ET
Robert Murray, CEO of coal-mining giant Murray Energy Corp., went on CNBC to take a stab at Elon Musk and Tesla Motors for reaping taxpayer subsidies and failing to make enough profit.
“Tesla is a fraud.”Robert Murray
Murray also turned to the topic of climate change.
“By the way, you could close down every coal-fired plant in the United States today, and you would not affect the temperature of the earth at all,” he said.
Watch the interview.
Musk initially tweeted out a link of the interview before sharing his rebuttal:
Of course, this isn’t the first time Musk has taken to Twitter to tangle with his critics on the thorny issue of subsidies. Earlier this year, he went after fellow billionaires the Koch brothers for their renewed effort to go after electric cars.
At last check, Tesla shares were up 3% in early Monday trading, though they are still down for the year..
