“Tesla has created more than 50,000 jobs and is investing in electric vehicles twice as much as GM and Ford combined”

In one of the latest messages on Twitter on behalf of the official account of US President Joseph Biden, General Motors and Ford are talking about large-scale injections into the electric car industry.

Ford is investing $11 billion in electric vehicle manufacturing, creating 11,000 jobs nationwide. GM is making the largest investment in its history with $7 billion in electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.

And, of course, Elon Musk, whose company in the White House continues to be diligently ignored, could not help but react to such a statement. In response, he wrote, "Tesla has created more than 50,000 U.S. electric vehicle jobs and is investing more than twice as much as GM and Ford combined." And a little lower he added: “for the person who controls this Twitter.” As with many similar cases, Musk's response received far more likes and retweets than the original post.

Musk has repeatedly complained about the bias towards Tesla from the current US administration. Last year, the head of the largest US electric vehicle manufacturer was not invited to the White House for an event that discussed the development of the electric vehicle industry in the US. Representatives from GM, Ford and Stellantis were there, but Musk was not called. Since then, the White House, judging by the latest statements, continues to ignore Tesla and the merits of Elon Musk personally in the popularization of electric vehicles.
