Elon Musk says Biden treats Americans 'like fools' after president meets with GM, Ford execs on electric cars
Fox News ^ | January 27 2022 | Paul Best

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that President Biden "is treating the American public like fools" after Biden met with executives from rival car companies General Motors and Ford Motor earlier this week.

Biden invited GM CEO Mary Barra and Ford CEO Jim Farley to the White House along with other business leaders to discuss his administration's $1.75 trillion Build Back Better legislation, which has stalled in the evenly split Senate after U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., refused to support the legislation.

The massive spending bill would bump up the $7,500 tax credit to $12,500 for union-made electric vehicles and would also make GM and Tesla eligible for the existing tax credit again after they hit the 200,000-vehicle limit for the credit.

Kim Paquette 💫🦄 @kimpaquette · Jan 27, 2022 Honestly how does he say this with a straight face. Shame on you President Biden for trying to cancel a great American company and rewrite EV history.

No one is buying this. What an embarrassment for the United States. @elonmusk #Tesla President Biden @POTUS

United States government official I meant it when I said the future was going to be made right here in America. Companies like GM and Ford are building more here at home than ever before.

“Just how is Mister Biden going to get his astronauts to the Space station without Elon Musk and SpaceX?”

Do you really think old joe gives a hoot about space travel? He is more worried about where to get his next ice cream cone!

Elon’s plan for the future is his Space Ship not Falcon 9 or Dragon, I doubt that he or Nasa would want to go to Mars in a Dragon and F-9H.

Tax credits for Musk products are $5,000 LESS than the credits for GM & Ford. $12,500 VS $7,500

MUSK is NOT UNION.

This should be in the courts.

Subsidizing the UNIONS on the backs of EV buyers.

GM only sold 24 not due to low demand but the battery issues. GM stopped the EV sales the 4 the qtr

GM”s new Cadillac Lyqyria and Silverado have record demand.

Yes. Plus SpaceX funds come from congress not Dementia Joe.

He is more worried about where to get his next ice cream cone!

Elon can send him plenty of that too. With lots of covid vaccines on it.

Elon’s plan for the future is his Space Ship not Falcon 9 or Dragon,

Yet Falcon 9 and the Dragon capsule are bringing SpaceX all their money.

I doubt that he or Nasa would want to go to Mars in a Dragon and F-9H.

F9 and F Heavy can send Dragon to the moon right now.
Nobody is sending humans to Mars for at least another 5 years, by which time Dementia Joe will be probably dead.
SpaceX will continue to go to Mars long after Biden ceases to exist.

—”She pulled the strings that created the Aztec, any wonder why the Chevy Silverado has the same ugliness.”

An unlikely supposition.

Mary Barra received her MBA in 1990 and became a GM VP in 2008

Pontiac Aztek Was first shown in 1999 and produced in 2000.
Five years plus for a new car launch.

So how much input would a junior employee have?

Show a source for your supposition.

I just remember that from way back when. It was part of the story when she was kicked upstairs. My memory is excellent.

—”My memory is excellent.”

The history of the Aztek is well known, so prove your memory is not just so many false memories dancing in your head.

Boeing is like GM right now. They cant seem to get anything right.
The massive 737 Max screw ups and now the Starliner screw ups, despite Boeing getting nearly twice as much money as SpaceX did to develop the Dragon capsule.

Yup.
Even worse, Boeing can’t seem to make it a find it’s way correctly to the Space Station in previous attempts so far.
