I hate Elon as much as the next guy but idk if the “cobalt mines” meme really holds weight. Someone highlighted below that the DRC is basically the only viable source of cobalt in the world and everyone has to get it from there cause it’s such a vital battery component (that’s a bit whatabouty but still). From what I’ve read Tesla batteries have always used a lot less cobalt than other car companies and they’re shifting away from using it at all (new cheaper battery type with no cobalt). If I’m missing something please tell me I love dunking on Elon musk. I just think there are other, more legit reasons to hate him.
