TESLA-MUSK/ (UPDATE 3, PIX):UPDATE 3-Tesla's Musk meets top Biden officials on EVs in Washington
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk met two top White House officials on Friday in Washington to discuss how the car maker and Democratic President Joe Biden could work together to advance electric vehicle production and speed electrification of U.S. vehicle networks.
Musk responded on Twitter to the initial exclusive Reuters report that he met with the officials, saying it was “True.” A Reuters witness on Friday saw Podesta, Landrieu and Musk entering a downtown building that houses both Tesla’s Washington lobbying operation and the Center for American Progress, a think tank Podesta founded. Landrieu and Podesta left about half an hour later and did not answer questions.
Relations have often seemed antagonistic between Biden, who has pushed for companies to use union labour, and Musk, who has pushed to keep unions out of his factories. In June, Biden compared Tesla unfavourably to Ford and sarcastically wished Musk “lots of luck” on his “trip to the moon” after the billionaire expressed reservations about the economy.
