It would only be rank hypocrisy if there were polls showing that people were significantly against lending the money and offering credits and subsidies to reduce dependency upon fossil fuels though right? (extending his main objection to "democracy" here). If you're really going to go after him much safer ground is to point out that people can be easily manipulated by the way a question is framed to give you the answer you want. For example, what if the survey said "Do you think it's fair that a newer entrant into the marketplace can put 1000's of people's jobs at risk by being allowed to have a different set of rules to the established market participants?" Shockingly that poll might come out at 86% against Tesla.
