Elon Musk slams President Biden for Tesla State of the Union ‘snub’

ELON Musk is unhappy with President Joe Biden yet again but this time it’s about the State of the Union address.

The Tesla CEO has been publicly slamming Biden for a while now as he claims the US president continues to snub his car company.

Biden didn’t mention Tesla during last night’s State of the Union speech.

However, he did praise Ford and General Motors for investing in electric cars.

Tesla is the world’s leading electric car company so Musk is taking the omission personally.

Biden said: “Ford is investing $11 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 11,000 jobs across the country.

“GM is making the largest investment in its history: $7 billion to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.”

This annoyed Musk so much he started to slam the president on Twitter.

He tweeted Biden’s official Twitter account and said: “Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined [fyi to person controlling this twitter].”

Musk also told CNBC: “Nobody is watching the State of the Union.”

Biden has previously acknowledged that Tesla is America’s “largest electric-vehicle manufacturer.”

This comment doesn’t seem to be enough for Musk though.

What else are Musk and Biden ‘feuding’ over?

Earlier this year, Musk repeatedly called Biden a sock puppet.

Calling someone a “sock puppet” can imply that they have a false online identity to promote an agenda.

The US President has never tweeted about Musk or Tesla and has never publicly acknowledged this ‘feud’.

There’s a theory than Biden chooses to ignore Musk when he talks about the American car industry because of differing beliefs.

Musk is said to be anti-union and isn’t a fan of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The billionaire previously threw his support behind a petition for the president to acknowledge Tesla.

Musk retweeted the petition and wrote: “For reasons unknown, @potus is unable to say the word “Tesla”.”

Last September, Musk also lashed out at Biden for failing to congratulate his Inspiration4 astronauts on their SpaceX flight.

One SpaceX observer tweeted: “The President of the United States has refused to even acknowledge the 4 newest American astronauts who helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for St. Jude.

“What’s your theory on why that is?”

To which Musk replied: “He’s still sleeping”.

This phrase caused controversy as it’s similar to the phrases used by the Republican party and Donald Trump to mock Biden.

The Meta CEO has plans to create his own virtual worlds and recently revealed big plans for his metaverse.

And, people are increasingly unable to tell apart fake faces made by AI and real ones, new research suggests.
