Jeff Bezos can breathe easily. The US government has been a target of Musk's cyberbully.
The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council Summit was held on Monday, and the CEO of the electric car company,Tesla, blasted the White House's Better Act. The bill would give a tax credit of as much as $12,500 to Americans who purchased a union-built electric vehicle, which Musk has opposed.
At the summit, Musk said that he would be able to complete the bill. He said that the government should just try to get out of the way and not impede progress.
Buttigieg is back better.
Pete Buttigieg, the Secretary of Transportation, slammed the billionaire for his remarks at the summit, and gave a thorough and well-articulated rebuttal.
At the summit, Buttigieg said there were three things that would not happen on their own. It must happen quickly enough to meet our climate challenges. Two: for it to happen in an equitable way that will actually reach Americans who are low-income, urban, and rural.
The importance of making sure that the electric-vehicle revolution is made in America is third. We believe in the benefits of union jobs.
The dues of the unions.
The recent anger at the White House could be traced to his anti-union stance.
In September, Musk blasted the provision in the act that incentives the purchase of union-built EVs. The National Labor Relations Board said that he violated labor laws when he fired the union activist.
It will be interesting to see if the legislation will encourage a lot of Americans to buy union-built EVs. If it does, Musk might find himself in a precarious position, possibly allowing workers at his company to unionize. We wouldn't bet on a signed dollar.
