Things really heated up when Elon Musk started asking about what was going on.
The trees are being planted on every continent except Antarctica and the kind of trees planted depends where they are planted. Arbor Day plants trees that are native to their surroundings :) https://t.co/W2ItuwU418

He quickly pulled the trigger.

The internet is, rightfully psyched.
It is now illegal to not drive a Tesla, sorry but Elon planted a million trees so all other cars are now obsolete.
