Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the United States needs to increase oil and gas output “immediately” after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, despite admitting it would have a “negative” effect on his electric vehicle company.

Musk took to Twitter on March 5 to share his thoughts on the United States boosting production at home in an effort to become less dependant on Russian oil, as entities across the world move to distance themselves from President Vladimir Putin and his actions.
