Tesla CEO Elon Musk called President Joe Biden a “puppet’ for the United Auto Workers in a Sunday tweet. Musk was replying to a tweet outlining electric-vehicle purchase tax credits proposed in the president’s infrastructure bill. The bill includes an extra $4,500 for EVs assembled by unionized labor.
Right now, Tesla vehicles no longer qualify for federal tax credits. The bill includes an extra $4,500 for EVs assembled by unionized labor. Tesla’s plant in Fremont, Calif., isn’t unionized, so the proposal could give EVs from other auto makers a pricing advantage.
Biden wants 50% of the cars sold in the U.S. to be all-electric by 2030. Musk called the decision odd in a tweet. Musk also has a problem with a Biden appointment to the National Highway Transport Safety Administration. He said the administration “seems to be controlled by unions.”
