After a petition was launched asking President Biden to acknowledge Elon Musk’s company Tesla’s leadership with regard to electric vehicles, as Biden has lauded other leaders in the electric vehicle industry, Musk ripped Biden, tweeting sardonically, “For reasons unknown, @potus is unable to say the word ‘Tesla.’”
Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter): “For reasons unknown, @potus is unable to say the word “Tesla” https://t.co/dcBNowOgKA / X”

As recently as last Thursday, Elon Musk slammed Biden on Thursday after Biden tweeted a video of himself talking with General Motors CEO Mary Barra, captioned, “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 electric vehicles here at home than ever before.”
Musk fired back, “Starts with a T. Ends with an A. ESL in the middle.”

Musk has repeatedly mocked Biden online after Biden has spurned the CEO and his companies, despite their extraordinary accomplishments. Musk responded to a Twitter user who asked why Biden had not acknowledged that SpaceX’s ‘Inspiration4’ mission, the world’s first all-civilian crew spaceflight, raised hundreds of millions of dollars for charity by tweeting: “He’s still sleeping.” Musk has slammed Biden for being a “puppet” for the United Auto Workers union and for not inviting Tesla to an EV event at the White House.
