Irony

Am I the only one to have notices the irony?

Donald Trump, who has often dismissed climate change as a hoax, has appointed Elon Musk - a leading advocate for electric vehicles and sustainable energy - to his administration. It's akin to a fast-food mogul hiring a vegan chef to revamp the menu.

 

It's like appointing a teetotaler as the head of a brewery, having a cat oversee a dog show or Dracula having a garlic farmer manage his estate. Trump, who once suggested that rising sea levels would simply create "more oceanfront property," now collaborates with Musk, whose life's work focuses on reducing carbon emissions. 

Perhaps this is Trump's version of The Apprentice: Climate Edition. "Elon, your task is to promote electric cars while convincing everyone that climate change isn't real. Bonus points if you can make a coal-powered Tesla. You're hired!"

It's not as if Musk is the only example - Trump seems set on installing a kakistocracy as his cabinet. One thing you can guarantee is that they'll all turn on him, just like the previous lot.
