UFC featherweight contender Bryce Mitchell is not a big fan of electric cars. In a recent video on Instagram, ‘Thug Nasty’ fired shots at billionaire Elon Musk and claimed that Musk stole from people like Mitchell to build his wealth.
In the video, the 27-year-old spoke about how electric cars were not environment-friendly. The 27-year-old also took a jab at Mark Zuckerberg, saying he hoped the video would not get removed from the internet.
“If you like driving electric cars just because you like them, hey, that’s fine. But don’t tell me it’s environmentally friendly. You’re a stupid motherf**ker if you do. Because that electric cars runs off of coal and to mine coal, it takes diesel equipment. To transport coal, it takes diesel equipment. So you can thank people like myself who operate diesel equipment for your electric car to work. And I know that… Elon Musk got more money than me, but y’all got to remember… my business didn’t get half a billion in subsidies this year. My kind of business don’t get no subsidies. So really, his success is from people like me that he stole from. I hope Mark Zuckerberg don’t take this post down, because it’s true,” said Bryce Mitchell.

Mitchell uploaded the video at a time when the city of California is facing blackouts due to heat waves. In the midst of this, a picture emerged on Twitter where a Tesla car had a fossil fuel generator attached to it.
