Elon Musk(Getty Images/AFP Pool)Billionaire Elon Musk is not a fan of “Straw Wars,” and he’s taken to Twitter to protest bans on the useful tool for consuming liquids.
“Stop the war on straws!” Musk tweeted Thursday night, including a picture of a lidded, plastic cup filled with cold brew coffee.
“How did it even start?” he wondered in a follow-up in his thread.

A number of states have banned plastic straws, in the name of environmental concerns.
In 2020, Starbucks replaced straws for cold beverages with sip-able lids and, earlier this year, announced plans to remove all single-use cups by 2025.
