During a TED interview at Tesla’s (TSLA) Gigafactory, CEO Elon Musk offered a nuanced take on the future of climate change. When presented with the notion — widely echoed by scientists — that 2050 could mark a tipping point for environmental catastrophe without decisive action, Musk pushed back against these dire predictions.
“I am not one of the doomsday people. I actually think we're on a good path. But at the same time, I want to caution against complacency. So long as we are not complacent and have a sense of urgency about moving towards a sustainable energy economy, then I think things will be fine,” he said.
