Jonas is widely identified on Wall Street as one of the first to notice the significance of Tesla and electric-powered automobiles to the automobile industry. He mentioned that Amazon’s carbon neutrality target follows its lead in a $700 million spherical of capital funding for electric-powered pickup truck and SUV maker Rivian.
