ESGHound is notoriously deranged. He lost a bunch of money shorting Tesla years back and has been on the warpath ever since.

I think you are right to ignore the ad-hominems and stick to the facts he presented.

The pure vitriol and ad hominems ensure that facts against their narrative will not be presented.

I'm sure you are intelligent enough to read his arguments and then go search out contradicting arguments and figure out for yourself which make more sense.

His arguments like this?

He's worthless as a source and not worth paying attention to.

That's funny because he predicted that they were in violation of the Clean Water Act a year ago, while people like you kept saying it was bullshit. It seems like there is definitely someone not worth listening to but it isn't him.

ESGHound has lobbed many accusations, most of which did not pan out. Some of his accusations, such as the idea that SpaceX's development was a front for their real goal to drill for fossil fuel, could be considered conspiracy theories.

Throw enough at the wall and something will stick.

I am not convinced he is correct in this case either, just that he's gotten the ear of a likeminded journalist.
