      What the parent comment is saying is the implication is that without Elon’s money, he wouldn’t consider EVs. So same meaning.

        Saying that he “has no choice” now doesn’t really sound like he’s the one in control of the decision. That’s definitely not the same thing.

      No, he said the converse.

      “Opposite” would necessarily suggest a different outcome (i.e. Musk not beholden to Trump).

      (Haven’t had a logic course in literal decades, so maybe someone can correct me if I’m misremembering. I forget how to draw those logic square thingies…)
