Elon Musk has for months expressed his bewilderment that someone he recently referred to as a “damp sock puppet in human form” hasn’t had the courtesy to say “Hi” to him since becoming President of the United States. Despite being given an answer directly from White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki as to why (union-busting, the answer is union-busting), the Technoking has regularly heckled Joe Biden from his platform on Twitter — a soapbox currently reaching more than both the @POTUS and @JoeBiden accounts combined.
However, it seems that Musk has finally gotten his wish this week. During a speech yesterday promoting American industry, President Biden extolled the work coming “from iconic companies like GM and Ford building out new electric vehicle production to Tesla, our nation's largest electric vehicle manufacturer.” Let this be a lesson to everyone out there: Don’t let anyone tell you your inordinate wealth and weaponized legion of fans can’t force a sitting U.S. President to begrudgingly admit that, yes, both you and your dangerous, deadly cars really and truly exist.
