That’s a little like worrying about the roof replacement your house will desperately need in a decade, meanwhile there’s a guy trying to burn your house down right now. Let’s put the fire out, then we can worry about the roof.

Wrong. What we do TODAY determines what happens in a decade. Global warming is determined by what we do today, even if the final destruction doesn't show up until later.
You are literally a climate change denier.

The administration Musk is a part of has suspended leasing and permitting for wind energy projects: https://apnews.com/article/wind-energy-offshore-turbines-tru...
It has suspended renewable energy approvals on public lands: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5105492-trump-...
And it's quitting the Paris climate agreement so it can "drill, baby, drill": https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20px1e05w0o
If you're serious about addressing climate change, you can no longer buy Tesla.

OK. Still going to focus on the arsonist first.

You think that individual choice is the one and only way to fix climate change? The new regime's policy is "drill baby drill". That's a lot more impactful than people electing not to buy a particular brand of electric cars.

Weirdest instance of "whataboutism" I've ever seen. Yes pay no attention to eg forthcoming deaths due to withdrawal of pepfar, anti-malarals, etc but do pay attention to the effect of EVs on climate change (don't worry that it's the same guy selling the EVs that's causing the deaths).
Like Jesus Christ you really expect people to be convinced by this reasoning?
Because if you actually believed it, you'd be too terrified to be distracted by party politics.
