Cross Musk & he takes his petro-state investment dollars & incites a riot
France & astroturf Yellow Vests.
Canada & #KochNetwork antivaxxer blockades.
USA & fossil fuel-funded Jan 6
Australia & coal
The industry is prepared to do anything, literally anything, to any democracy threatening a fossil fuel phase out
Funding fascism, xenophobia, & climate denial is just the start
