President Biden wished Musk good luck on his trip to the moon.
In an internal email, Musk told executives that he had a bad feeling about the economy and that he needed to cut his workforce by 10%.
The president pointed out that Musk's competitors are expanding their operations when he was asked about the message.
Ford is increasing their investment more than any other company. New electric vehicles are being built by Ford. There are thousands of new employees in the Midwest.
Lots of luck on his trip to the moon, said Biden.
The first woman and the first person of color on the moon will be part of NASA's Artemis program. The choice of the company's lunar landers was made in 2021. NASA said in March that it would conduct its first mission no later than 25 years from now.
Musk wrote "Thanks Mr President!" while attaching a link to the NASA announcement of the partnership with his company.
Biden and Musk have gone after each other before. The 4 newest American astronauts who helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for St. Jude have not been acknowledged by the President. Why that is something you have a theory on?
Musk said that he was still asleep.
Biden didn't praiseTesla. In August of 2021, the president signed an executive order setting a goal for zero-emissions vehicles to make up half of U.S. car sales by the year 2030. There are close ties between the manufacturers and the union. There wasn't an invite forTesla, a non union company.
Musk questioned the lack of an invite and accused Biden of snubbing the top US electric-car maker.
Musk said that Biden held an electric vehicle summit. GM and Ford were praised for their leadership in the EV revolution. Is this a little biased? It's not the best administration. It seems to be controlled by unions.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was questioned by reporters.
Psaki said she would let you draw your own conclusions.
