Musk, whose electric car firm repaid its $465 million Energy Department loan on Wednesday, urged attendees at a Washington, D.C., event to flip the burden of proof onto those who deny greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming.

“If you were to ask any scientist, ‘Are you absolutely certain’ about anything, they would say, ‘Well, no. There’s a .001 percent chance it could be different.’ So it’s better to actually say, ‘Look, how certain are you that it is not catastrophic?’ And then you’ll get the correct answer,” Musk said Wednesday night at the Climate Leadership Gala.

Musk also said he had a solution — albeit one Republicans have outright rejected — for reducing carbon emissions.

“The thing they’ve got to do is try to put a tax on carbon,” he said, inducing cheers.
