Honey bees know and "ecological paradise" when they see one.

A good omen for sure.

Red flags in relationships. You meet the bee handler wherever you happen to cross paths. Progress to a first official date, she describes her work with bees…

Not a red flag, pretty awesome.

"No factory" would be more of an "ecological paradise". Electric vehicles and the factories that make them, are more the "lesser of two evils".

PS Bees are cool, and she can save my bees any day! ;)

The "ecological paradise" that Elon spoke of referred to the surrounding land not the factory.

Hyperbole from Musk. Imagine that! That factory has a huge footprint, like all auto factories. Every person having a car, whether EV or ICE, has major ecological impacts. An "ecological paradise" involves EV mass transit and getting away from the desire of every individual to have their own car. EVs are a great step in the right direction though, and will be a huge improvement over ICE, but there are still major impacts.

Why do you have such a negative interpretation of everything having anything to do with Tesla or Elon Musk? Do you hate success?

Tesla is taking hundreds of acres of what was a mineral mining wasteland with completely messed up hydrology, adjacent to a major Interstate highway, an area that has been abused and neglected for many decades, and spending millions of dollars to restore the hydrology, plant native vegetation that will attract wildlife and manage storm events in a beneficial manner. This will attract hikers, mountainbikers, and bird-watchers to an area that was formerly disgusting.

Just keep spouting your anti-Tesla and anti-Elon Musk narrative and see where it takes your life. My guess: nowhere good.

In June 2020, when Tesla announced they had purchased land and this was going to be the location of their Giga factory. Most people that looked at the location thought it was a swamp, and that Elon was nuts.
Elon saw potential. Yes, they built a massive concrete and steel factory, which is far from ideal ecologically. But they did it in a location that was basically abused and an ecological pit. As for the ecological paradise, That's a coming attraction. Elon plans to repair this piece of land, with over 3 miles of shoreline along the Colorado River, and show off its beauty. Wait just a bit, it will be an ecological paradise in due time.
