"He's such a goose. Whatever happened to his clay lithium mining process that uses table salt to extract the lithium?"Certainly, no one can argue with the fact that Elon Musk, whom, it seems suffers from a form of Asperger's, one of the recognized symptoms of which, is an ability for such afflicted individuals to maintain an ..extreme level of focus, upon any issue that interests them, is a truly formidable force, some are even going so far as to say, a genius, when it comes to him, almost single-handedly, advancing the cause, of getting the whole world moving, towards transitioning its entire existing Transport Fleet, away, from fossil fuels, to electric-motivation, but, none of that automatically qualifies him, as either a Geologist or a Chemical Scientist, and as for his Battery Day announcement about it being ..
'easy' to produce Lithium out of Clays, I'm sure that he would have simply been making those claims, based upon information that had been 'provided to him' from,
'supposed, expert Geology and Chemical consultants', that had either been hired by his firm, or maybe even, who had simply approached him themselves, with
a 'good story' and perhaps, some less than completely honest intentions, themselves.
And so as to what could have actually, ..motivated, those 'supposed, expert consultants' to supply him with, ..such 'information' in the first place..?
Well, it's been my own life's personal observation, that
even 'just the smell' of 'LOTS of MONEY' in the offing,
will often make a whole lot of folksdo, and say, ..almost anything, to get ..their own hands upon some, or even, all, of it..!Either way, I'm very sure that Elon, has ..since, discovered, that getting his own company's hands upon ..any, of this supposedly very, very abundant Lithium, ..isn't ..quite so easy, after all, as what his ..'expert advisers' first told him it would be...!
HOLD 'em ..
TIGHT Folks...!!
