Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has replied to American President Joe Biden’s tweet after he excluded Tesla from his list of companies that are investing in electric cars.
Gatekeepers News reports that Biden on Wednesday, tweeted, “Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles—creating 11,000 jobs across the country. GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.”
Tesla, an American electric vehicle and clean energy company, was not mentioned by the President.
In response, Musk took a quick swipe at the President’s handler. He tweeted, “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]”.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Musk is throwing a jab at the US President.
In September 2021, after SpaceX completed a historic, private spaceflight, Elon Musk tweeted at Biden, saying he was sleeping for not acknowledging the achievements of the businessman and his crew.
One of Musk’s followers on the social networking platform Twitter asked him, “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?” Musk replied, “He’s still sleeping.”
