Those articles are about old actions of the company. Those issues have led to changes that cause the company to be on the list now. They are spending billions on reducing emissions, researching alternative fuels, and partnering with renewable companies.

Meanwhile, Tesla and Musk have a very recent historical pattern of not caring about environmental regulations, with no indication of any change in belief or practice.

So one is at least putting up money to try to improve things, while the other DGAF about the environment if it gets in their way of their business.

When a company has literally decades of bad behavior (including multiple instances of being caught and then promising to do better and then being caught lying about it), it's a little hard to immediately accept at face value their most recent good deeds (especially since even some of them are already looking shady).

True. Sounds like both of them.
