“With six little words, Elon Musk has relegated the oil industry to a historical footnote. This, despite the oil industry underpinning the workings of the entire world.

“Compared to solar, oil is small-time,” Musk posted on X, delivering a withering verdict on the fossil fuel era. No charts, no caveats. Just a blunt assertion that the sun—not crude oil—will define the future of global energy. From a man whose fortunes straddle both electricity and ambition, the message was clear: oil may have powered the past, but it won’t own what comes next.

The statement from Musk, however, doesn’t mean that fossil fuels are irrelevant. Musk warned in 2022 that the world would need to continue extracting oil and gas lest civilization start to crumble. “Realistically, I think we need to use oil and gas in the short term because otherwise, civilization will crumble,” adding that the transition to sustainable energy would “take some decades to complete.”

Trump, for his part, attempted to play down the risk of fuel prices remaining high for a sustained period. “I think they’ll go lower than they were before,” he told NBC.

“There’s so much oil, gas – there’s so much out there,” Trump added. “But you know, it’s being clogged up a little bit. It’ll be unclogged very soon.”
