Although it’s true that Tesla receives lithium from Australia, it is also said to be one of ACISA’s clients.© Autonomous Nonprofit Organization “TV-Novosti”, 2005–2020. Now, some people are accusing Tesla and its CEO of being involved in a coup in Bolivia to secure their lithium in a crazy new conspiracy theory.Following disputed elections with a lot of irregularities in Bolivia last year, president Evo Morales was forced to resign by several groups, including the police and military.Morales had been president for 14 years and with concerns that elections were being manipulated for him to maintain power, several political interests and political infighting are believed to be behind his ousting.However, some conspiracy theories have claimed that American influence was behind the change of power, and there’s even a theory that a German mining company, ACI Systems, was also involved in order to secure the country’s lithium.The latter evolved into Elon Musk and Tesla being involved in the situation, which has been described as a coup by the former president.It didn’t help that Musk jokingly said they are going to “coup whoever they want,” and Morales tweeted that it’s “proof” that Tesla and Musk were involved to secure lithium: The former president’s message roughly translates to:“Another proof that the coup was due to Bolivian lithium; and two massacres as a resylt. 05:19 GMT, Sep 12, 2020 Lithium: Bolivien stellt deutsche Firma ACI Systems kalt Suche öffnen.

This article, points to a link between the mining of lithium, which is key to the Tesla batteries and the resignation of Evo Morales. Earlier in November 2019, Bolivia axed a massive lithium project with German company ACI Systems Alemania (ACISA). Think your friends would be interested?

I don’t think we are going to see any scarcity of lithium.The problem is going to be about rapidly increasing mining and production efficiently and in large volumes.
