You got a link? Can't really tell what he's trying to say here without context. Is it that the US should just give up because China is owning them so hard on electric cars? Is it that the US is economically dependent on oil and we should continue to use ICE cars regardless of if it kills everyone?
My reading was that the US has an technical advantage in ICE [doubt] so shouldn't have supported EVs which allowed China to gain ground at an early stage of the technology
if you dig a little deeper it's also in large part the fact that matty hates Elon for aligning with republicans: https://cdn.xcancel.com/pic/orig/media%2FGabbWXZXkAA2Uvr.png

Thanks! So yeah, it's literally just "China is doing good so we must ban electric cars", death to Matty Glesias.
