The assertion that Elon Musk has given up on solar power (on Earth) is incorrect. Tesla, under Musk’s leadership, remains a significant player in the terrestrial solar energy market through its Tesla Energy division. This includes the production and installation of solar panels, the innovative Solar Roof product, and the Powerwall battery storage system, all designed to integrate solar energy into homes and businesses.
Musk has consistently advocated for a sustainable energy future, with solar power playing a crucial role alongside electric vehicles and battery storage. While he also shows interest in more speculative long-term energy solutions, his commitment to widespread solar adoption on Earth remains a core part of Tesla’s mission and his personal vision.
