According to the report, at noon on the 4th, Biden and Representative Mike Levin visited the headquarters of the American communications company Viasat in Carlsbad, California, and delivered a speech.
Biden highlighted his administration's Chip and Science Act (the "CHIP Act"), which he highlighted as a $280 billion bill to promote domestic semiconductor production and support various programs and activities of the U.S. federal science agency.
When talking about battery technology, Biden mentioned General Motors' plans to fully shift to the production of electric vehicles, yet he made two slips of the tongue in a row in this speech.
"At the time, Amy Barrett, Eh, Barra, chairman of General Motors, Barra, was suing California because California has higher emission standards than anywhere else in the United States." "She called me and said they were going to be fully electrified by 3035," Biden said. All other companies have signed the same agreement. ”

It is reported that General Motors is the largest automaker in the United States, and their chairman and CEO is Mary Barra, but Biden misnamed Mary Barra in his speech, confusing the names of Mary Barra and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett.
In addition, General Motors announced in January 2021 that it plans to completely phase out vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2035 and electrify all new models; By 2040, all GM plants worldwide will be fully carbon neutral.
Biden mentioned GM's commitment to full electrification by 2035 in his previous speech, but in his speech on the 4th, he made a slip of the tongue and "postponed" this plan for a thousand years to 3035.
In the transcript of Biden's speech released on the official website of the White House on the same day, his two mistakes were crossed out with a horizontal line, and then the correct content was marked with parentheses behind.

For Biden's slip of the tongue, American netizens have long been surprised and have spoken out to ridicule.
"Here comes Biden again, and he announced that General Motors' vehicles will be fully electrified by 3035."
"Biden: GM 'fully electrified by 3035,' so 1,000 years later..."
"Biden is relieved that by 3035 all cars will be electric, and by that time we will all be dead."
"I just wanted reporters to ask what day Biden is today, and I think his answer will be interesting."
"This guy isn't going to finish his term, is he?"
