Donald Trump told some wild lies about climate change in his two-hour live-streamed conversation with Elon Musk last night.

He falsely said that sea levels would only rise “one-eighth of an inch over the next 400 years.” In reality, sea levels are currently rising at more than a one-eighth of an inch every year.

He also falsely said that sea level rise would bring “more oceanfront property” to the country—an almost stunningly ignorant claim, as sea level rise makes land masses smaller. It’s basic geometry, as The Washington Post points out.

But even more interesting than Trump’s asinine climate claims were the climate falsehoods spewed by Musk, a man who's been lauded as a climate hero by many in the press and even some readers of this newsletter.

So today, I’m going to fact-check the entire climate portion of Musk’s conversation with Trump, which went on a surprisingly long time and covered a range of topics from Arctic drilling to electric cars.

Instead of summarizing their claims, I’m going to present the climate portion of the transcript to you in full, with my reactions and fact-checks scattered throughout. Musk and Trump’s conversation will be in bold; my reactions and fact-checks will be non-bold. I’ve also cleaned up the transcript a little to eliminate unnecessary filler words, to make it easier to read/understand.

Enjoy.

MUSK: I want to say something about my views on climate change and oil and gas, because I think it’s probably different from what most people would assume. My views are actually pretty moderate in this regard, which is that I don’t think we should vilify the oil and gas industry and the people that have worked very hard in those industries to provide the necessary energy to support the economy. ...
