Elon Musk Drags Sierra Club Into Twitter Controversy

Description

Gizmodo reports, Elon Musk apparently asked environmental advocacy group the Sierra Club for a favor: Can you make my anonymous $6 million-plus donations no longer anonymous? Per Bloomberg, which obtained an email from Sierra Club executive Michael Brune to staff, Musk made the appeal in the form of a phone call in which he asked if Brune could personally vouch for him on Twitter. Brune did, and it apparently did not go well. Brune is now dealing with blow-back within his own organization for complying with Musk’s requests. Two posts from his personal account and one sent from the Sierra Club’s Twitter handle that were laudatory of Musk and his commitment to fighting climate change rankled some Sierra Club staff. They objected to Brune’s defense of an executive who funds Republicans and has bashed the United Auto Workers.
