White House Answers Why Tesla Wasn’t Invited To United Auto Workers EV Event

During the Q&A, one of the reporters asked,

“And the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk, expressed surprise that he was not invited to the ceremony because his company is obviously such a large manufacturer of electric vehicles. Can you give us any insight into why Tesla wasn’t included in this event?”

Secretary Psaki replied,

“We, of course, welcome the efforts of all automakers who recognize the potential of an electric vehicle future and support efforts that will help reach the president’s goal, and certainly, Tesla is one of those companies. Today, it’s the three largest employers of the United Auto Workers and the UAW president who will stand with President Biden as he announces his ambitious new target, but I would not expect this is the last time we talk about clean cars, the move toward electric vehicles, and we look forward to having a range of partners in that effort.”

A follow-up question was,

“So it’s not because Tesla’s a non-union shop?”

And Psaki replied,

“Well, these are the three largest employers of the United Auto Workers, so I’ll let you draw your own conclusion.”

HI Kirk,

On the road for a week doing some restoration home work on my Nomad.

They all are classic examples of why government should not be involved in the private sector.

From fools to well intended people who feel important spending the tax payers money :

Essential Meaning of laissez-faire

economics : a policy that allows businesses to operate with very little interference from the government

a strong advocate of laissez-faire..Solindra proved it must be eliminated.

The private sector is most efficient mechanism.

Then it must be combined with Free Market Pricing.
