NEW: Elon Musk committed $100 million in 2021 for a contest to advance tech that removes CO2 from the air or sea. On Wednesday, the climate competition's winners are being feted — with a dark MAGA shadow over them. “People are going to hear Musk and just walk away.” www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

Elon Musk bankrolled a $100M climate contest. Now it's ‘tainted.’
The billionaire funded an XPrize for carbon removal. But he won't be at the ceremony announcing the winner Wednesday.
