That's just the drugs talking.
Don't listen to old men on drugs. No good will come of it.

I thought they didn't believe the climate could be changed...
Get fucked, Nazi
He just keeps getting more idiotic
... He does realize they can't just shit on international organizations like the UN and USAID and expect the rest of the world to follow them tow in line, right? Specially given this will affect those regions for whom climate change would actually be beneficial.
Anyway, this sounds more like a bullshit excuse to do nothing about the causes of climate change. This would have excessive costs of the solution and the maintenance that would likely have to be footed by society and not the people who do everything to avoid taxes like Musk. This would give polluters an excuse to pollute more and a way to put even more chokeholds around societies.
But even more fundamentally, climate change is due to things like carbon dioxide basically reflecting heat back onto the planet. Dampening sunlight doesn't just block heat, it dampens the entire electromagnetic spectrum. For a speculative solution you would be adding additional problems ecosystems would have to deal with.
How about narcissistic self-obsessed psychopaths stop trying to milk society for all they have as fast and much as possible? They can start by paying taxes and not engineering entire political programs to subvert democracies for personal gain.
The scale of this sort of thing is laughably huge. He's an idiot.
SPOILER ALERT: In a shocking twist, Musk ends up propelling the Earth directly into the Sun.

"Elon, where do you get your brilliant ideas from?"
"Well, they just come to me. Because Im so brilliant."
"So not from other people that you then repackage ?
"No."
"You dont just buy companies, and slap an 'I made this' sticker on it?"
"Not from popular cartoons from over 20 years ago?"
".... go fuck yourself!"

I’m sure this will be a complete success, and I see no downsides.
Hopefully someone will take him out. He should be on next starship.

Suffocating the planet to keep rich people from being tried for crimes against the earth. Sure is a new spin on boiling us frogs in the kettle.
I guess I'll go get ready for the eternal eclipse...
Maybe the best example of someone who needs a Walter Sobchak in his life.
Just a big guy who won’t go away and keeps telling him to shut the fuck up.
Oh, as in launching a bunch of exploding space-shuttles to obscure the sun? Got it.
