As we all know, Biden has been vigorously supporting the development of electric vehicles in the United States after taking office, but his tendency is also obvious, that is, completely ignoring Tesla's status as a brother of electric vehicles in the United States, never mentioning the achievements of Musk and Tesla in EV, and only supporting automakers that have joined the union, such as General Motors and Ford Motors.
Of course, Biden has the right to choose the car companies he likes or supports, he can not like Musk or Tesla, but directly take people as a tone, or even do not recognize the existence of others, it is indeed a bit unspeakable, which even makes Tesla's black powder can not see it.
Recently, Biden held an EV conference at the White House again, or only invited the bosses of GM and Ford, and did not invite Musk to attend. And Biden also recorded a video with GM CEO Mary Bora praising GM's contributions to the U.S. electric vehicle industry, saying that GM and Ford have hit new highs in U.S. electric vehicle production, pretending that Tesla does not exist.
Musk himself also replied to Biden's video tweet, not directly expressing dissatisfaction, but implicitly pointing out that Tesla is the driving pioneer of electric vehicles. However, under the comment of a netizen "no one will buy it", Musk was not so polite, directly saying "Biden treats the American people as a fool".
Although Biden and his team are selectively blind, the American people are well aware that Tesla is the leader of electric vehicles, whether it is sales or technological leadership, it is currently GM and Ford can not surpass.
On the same day of Biden's meeting, Tesla released its fourth quarter and full-year 2021 earnings report, and Musk also attended the earnings call. It turns out that despite not getting the favor and support of the U.S. government, Tesla has achieved great success against the backdrop of the coronavirus and chip shortages, while most of its competitors are struggling and underperforming.
Biden's proposal is also currently at a standstill, and although the bosses of GM and Ford have expressed support, some lawmakers have still expressed opposition. Musk, who is also in opposition, called on Congress not to pass the bill, noting that the electric vehicle industry does not need government support.
