Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg took to X on Monday to fact-check misleading claims about the state of a Biden administration initiative to build more electric vehicle charges.
Earlier that day, Michael Rulli claimed that the federal government had spent $7.5bn to build eight electric vehicle charging stations, in what he called “evidence of squandering billions on something nobody wants, while millions struggle to afford the things they need.” The president-elect’s son, Donald Trump Jr., retweeted Rulli’s message, claiming the program “does not seem like a great return on investment...but hey he checked a woke box so it’s totally worth it.”
