It all started when Biden held an EV summit at the White House in August 2021. And he didn’t invite Tesla.
White House spokesman Jen Psaki confirmed Musk’s suggestion. When asked if the White House did not invite the CEO because Tesla wasn’t unionized. She said, “Let’s draw your own conclusions.”
Musk criticized Biden when he was not invited to the White House event. And by September Biden’s EV policy appeared to benefit every car maker except for Tesla. It prompted Musk to claim the Biden administration policy appears to be controlled by trade unions.
