Guess who wasn't invited to the WH Electric Car Summit?
-
After SpaceX successfully launched its Inspiration mission with civilians to orbits, Elon Musk was asked why he thinks Biden has yet to congratulate him or SpaceX, and the CEO answered that “he is still sleeping,” which many saw as a reference to Trump’s “sleepy Joe” nickname for the president.
During an interview at the Code Conference on Tuesday, Musk was asked why he made that tweet and the CEO responded:
“Biden held this EV summit. Didn’t invite Tesla. Invited GM, Ford, Chrysler, and UAW. EV summit at the White House, didn’t mention Tesla once and praised GM and Ford for leading the EV revolution. Doesn’t it sound a little bias? It’s not the friendliest of administrations. Seems to be controlled by the unions.”
Musk was referencing the ceremony where President Biden signed a new executive order for 50% of new cars sold in the US to be electric by 2030.
Tesla’s CEO didn’t talk about the latest proposal to reform the federal incentive for electric cars, which includes an additional $4,500 amount of incentive per EV purchase for vehicles assembled at factories where workers are unionized.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

$4500/car buys a lot of votes.
I'm thinking that 2030 will be just about the time I buy my '70 Challenger RT 426...
