 Elon Musk @elonmusk Replying to @cleantechnica Yeah, seems odd that Tesla wasn’t invited https://www.kvue.com/article/tech/elon-musk-tesla-white-house-electric-car-summit/269-d1d669d9-01b1-41e9-9a9f-233adc575d67 |

According to the Business Insider, White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked during the press briefing whether Tesla was being excluded from the event because its employees were not part of an automotive union.
"I'll let you draw your own conclusion," Psaki responded. According to the Business Insider, Musk has publicly discouraged union efforts at Tesla and this may be the reason for Tesla's exclusion from this summit. |

The big three want Tesla to go away. Not surprised considering the UAW is a democrat operation and Biden is the democrat illegitimate president.

Pedo joe has no idea what an electric car is. Last time he was in a driver seat, he had a disconnected steering wheel, and the SS agent was driving the truck from the right side.

The president has already secured the support of the unions.
'The members of the UAW, current and future, are ready to build these electric cars and trucks and the batteries that go in them,' President Ray Curry said in a statement released through the White House. 'Our members are America's secret weapon in winning this global race.' And the three big U.S. automakers — GM, Ford and Stellantis — said the agreement reflected their 'commitment to be leaders in the U.S. transition to electric vehicles.' However, in their joint statement, they also emphasized they needed federal help to make that happen. 'This represents a dramatic shift from the U.S. market today that can be achieved only with the timely deployment of the full suite of electrification policies committed to by the administration in the Build Back Better Plan,' they said. The percentage improvements in emissions and fuel economy that Biden's new rules will require were not immediately clear. |
