Former Tesla Exec Says Biden Administration's Treatment Of EV Giant Was 'Pretty Fair' Despite Musk's Allegations That It Would Rather The Company 'Be Dead Than Not Unionized'
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Former Tesla executive Rohan Patel stated that the Biden administration treated Tesla fairly on substantive issues, despite surface-level disappointments between President Biden and CEO Elon Musk. The administration included Tesla in the $7500 consumer incentive, allowed the deployment of Tesla’s driver assistance systems, and enacted incentives that benefited Tesla's Megapack deployments and battery manufacturing. Musk, however, has criticized Biden for being pro-union and has expressed concerns about potential tariffs if Trump is re-elected.
