He just came to Brazil to buy the Amazon that Bolsonaro tried to sell to Bolsonaro. Specifically speaking, illegal mining of precious battery material that coincidentally is located in native land - by the way, miners are on rampage here, invading lands and tribes with guns, torching houses, raping teenagers and children and throwing babies on rivers in front of their mothers.
I wish I was exaggerating. As if Covid hasn’t killed native people enough, the miners are finishing the job. It’s horrible.
From bloody diamonds to bloody metals.
Also: Bolsonaro tried to convince Musk to buy niobium too (he’s obsessed with it as the Next Big Thing) and it became a national joke.
