Back in September, the Tesla CEO said that the Biden administration was “somewhat biased” (File)
Washington:
US billionaire Elon Musk has criticized US President Joe Biden after he dropped the Tesla name in a post about the future of electric cars in the US.
Tesla CEO Musk appears to have been affected after the US President removed the electric vehicle maker’s name in a Twitter post where he said: “Companies like GM and Ford are building more electric cars at home than ever before.”
In response to Biden’s Twitter post about future electric cars in the US, Musk capitalized the entire name “Tesla”. In another tweet, he said, “Biden is a wet Socks puppet in human form.”

Musk also said that “Biden is treating the American public like idiots.”

He made these remarks after the US president met with executives from rival auto companies General Motors and Ford Motor earlier this week.
The event comes after Biden invited CEOsos of General Motors and Ford to the White House with other business leaders to discuss his administration’s Build Better Again legislation.
Interestingly, last year, Biden invited executives from these companies when he signed an executive order with the goal of making all vehicles sold in the US electric by 2030.
However, Musk, a critic of the Biden administration, was removed from the list.
In September, the Tesla CEO said the Biden administration was “somewhat biased” and “seemed to be controlled” by unions, Fox News reported.
