Elon Musk Ditches Clean-Energy Image With Billion-Dollar Fossil-Fuel Acquisition
Elon Musk, known for clean energy initiatives like Tesla and solar power, has acquired APR Energy, a gas turbine company, for $1 billion. The deal, discovered through an FTC early termination notice, gives Musk over 1 GW of mobile gas and diesel turbine capacity. The move is driven by the energy demands of Musk's AI ventures, including the Grok chatbot and xAI's Colossus supercomputers in Memphis. The article notes that Tesla quietly removed 'sustainable' from its mission statement, signaling a shift as AI growth forces even clean-energy champions toward fossil fuels for rapid power deployment.
