In nixing EV standards, Trump strikes at two foes: California and Elon Musk
Briefly

President Trump signed resolutions that roll back California's emissions standards promoting electric vehicle adoption, asserting they would hinder the US car industry and restrict consumer choices. These standards aimed to phase out petrol-powered cars completely by 2035. Trump's actions seem to target California Democratic leaders and Elon Musk, sparking controversy as they mark a significant divergence from California's progressive environmental mandates. While Trump argues these policies impose excessive control, some car manufacturers had begun aligning with the state's electric vehicle goals.
Trump argued that California's standards would hamper the US car industry and limit consumer choice, claiming they gave excessive control to California over the entire car industry.
This horrible scheme would effectively abolish the internal combustion engine, which most people prefer, reflecting Trump's stance against California's ambitious environmental goals.
