Abstract
This piece offers an examination of the intentions and motivations of General Motors' announcement to transition to electric vehicles by 2035. By highlighting the history of General Motors a corporation, General Motors' strategic alignment with the administration in power, and General Motors' greenwashing tactics evident in their marketing, a more comprehensive platform for assessing General Motors' announcement is provided. In addition, this piece seeks to introduce skepticism of the announcement by highlighting communities on a global scale who would be negatively affected by the unforeseen consequences of the decision.
