Elon Musk Writes President Trump an Open Letter
Elon Musk has written President Trump a letter related to the Paris climate initiative. As Alex mentioned, many Musk supporters were upset that he agreed to advise President Trump, others countered that it would give him the opportunity to be a reasoned voice on many topics.

Supercharger Charge Rates Slow?
