Yes, we all need to collectively eat less red meat to reduce emissions enough so Felon musk can eat lunch in Paris 3 times a week

Actually, eating less red meat would also be great for our health:

We need to tax oligarchs and eat a bit less red meat.
It's not one or the other.
Eating less meat et al is something we can personally do. The very wealthy have massive carbon footprints, mainly due to their ability to consume resources. It's like I still pick up my dog's shit at the park even though not everyone does. Giving up because not everyone is trying to care for the environment is definitely not the solution.
