"Musk’s goal is the electrification of the USA and the phasing out of fossil fuels." ~ JohnAZ
John, electricity as we use it, is not an energy source, it's a means of transmission. Fossil fuels are energy sources - fuel oil and coal - used to generate electricity.

Probably not. What Tesla wanted - electrical energy is free - pulled right from the atmosphere - it just needs to be harnessed. Nikola Tesla knew how and would have provided (harnessed) electricity for free.
Remember paying ridiculous amounts of money for long distance phone calls from here to Topeka, because wires? What about now? Dial 'em up on your cell phone. How, with no wires?
His contemporary - Thomas Edison - concurrently pioneered DC electricity, which required a wire to every structure for distribution, which required the end user to write a check every month, in perpetuity, to the provider.
Ok, which inventor do you think the Rockefeller's financed? And which one do you think, they "disappeared" all his work and records.
The Gov still has all Nikola Tesla's work product. Do you think Zuck and his ilk - the billionaire class - are worried about powering up their remote hidey-holes? Probably not.
Whether batteries, MGs, solar or wind, the source is part of the electric system. Electrification in Musk's eyes, Tesla, involves generation and usage of electricity. BTW, George Westinghouse and JP Morgan were involved in the decision making on electrification. BTW, did you know that Musk is getting ready to release a cell phone?
