Tesla's Masterplan 3: Tl;dr They want to mine a shit ton of minerals - so much for the carbon offset

So, this may be a bad take, but, call me stupid or whatever, doesn't this masterplan just say they want to mine a fuck ton of minerals and essentially become a giant mining company, undoing all the so called 'renewable energy' output that they are doing by offsetting it all through the environmental impacts of mining?

How is this any different than drilling for fossil fuels, not to mention, the factories and mining machines and equipment, will probably have to use fossil fuels, no? Or are they gunna use all electric stuff? Won't this just offset all the work they've been doing, claiming to be sustainable? Wtf?

Does the masterplan address these concerns at all? Tell me if I'm wrong here.

Not to be a Tesla bear here, I'm just trying to look at this objectively and not through rose-tinted glasses of being a Musk fanboy.

Anyone with some good arguments or pro thoughts here? I am really curious what y'all think, and I'm looking for real rational objective thinking and am all ears. I'm also looking for sources that address my main issue here. What am I missing?
