Tesla CEO Elon Musk is making good on his threat and will be parting ways with President Trump's advisory councils moments after Trump announced the U.S. would break with the Paris climate agreement.


"Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world," the billionaire electronic car magnate said in a tweet Thursday afternoon.


A day earlier, responding to reports that Trump was going to go through with leaving the international accord to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, Musk said he would have "no choice" but to depart the President's Strategic and Policy Forum, comprised of some of America's leading business leaders to advise Trump and help him put together his economic agenda, as well as Trump's manufacturing jobs initiative.
