Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don't see him stealing from them.

Well, he is just deeply narcissistic and looks for validation, like you say.

I don't know, if there will ever be a moment, that he thinks he's successful enough to earn love.

But he is also an adult. And even though he has his emotional problems, he is a very shitty parent to his trans child. And just forwarding all the hate, because he can't handle his feelings isn't acceptable.
He still has a shitload of money and just with that enough power to move things.

Which is dangerous, when he can influence geo politics that much - see StarLink in war or near war scenarios, and just recently the US election.

I actually would really like to know, why he is feeling so insecure and needs all this validation, and with what success he would say, that's it, now I'm fine.
