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.

I’ve heard this called “soft climate denial”, and unforntuately it’s widespread.
People like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi say that they believe in climate change. But let’s imagine that we’re roommates and you told me that there’s an out of control wildfire a few miles away and the governor has told us all to evacuate. One roommate says that they don’t belive it and they’re staying. And I say ‘Shame on you for denying this! I firmly believe in the wildfire. It’s urgent that we act now, which is why I’ve ordered travel maps on Amazon so we can begin plotting our evacuation route as soon as they arrive.’
Would you characterize this is accepting the crisis, or being in a state of soft denial?
Not directly addressing the crisis yesterday is just boneheaded. That’s my 2 cents. It’s a pandora’s box that will surprise us in many ways because we have no way of ascertaining what will exactly happen, and we also don’t know if or how it’s possible to reverse half of it.
Musk just being his usual recklessly optimistic self imo
Edit: but to answer your question, yes that is denialism, and I think anything short of actively boycotting the worst offenders in order to deprive lobbyists is denialism or indifference, but I always get called an asshole for thinking the onus should be partly on the consumer. But hey, we vote in progressives and they give us laws and suddenly the Escalade needs a frontal camera because it’s so big. That’s the world we live in, corporations have too much money and too much influence. If you wanna eat the rich it helps to starve them first imo
