President Joe Biden had to be reminded that Ford and GM are not leading the world in their electric vehicle journeys and their job creation numbers are also laughable compared to another certain electric car company that’s been doing it better for years.
In a tweet from President Joe Biden, he pumped up Ford and GM for creating 15,000 combined jobs and $18 billion investments. While it looks good on paper, Elon Musk wanted to make one thing clear.
“Ford is investing $11B to build electric vehicles—creating 11,000 jobs across the country.
GM is making the largest investment in its history—$7B to build electric vehicles, creating 4,000 jobs in Michigan.”

Elon Musk ‘Politely” Reminds President Joe Biden How Many Jobs Tesla Has Created
In Musk’s response, he put Ford and Gm’s numbers to shame stating that he’d created over 50,000 US jobs and invested more than double GM and Ford combined. He also added a little “FYI” at the end just to make his point stick to whoever is running Biden’s account.
“Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined
[fyi to person controlling this twitter]”
Some have come out to attack Elon, claiming he shouldn’t be bothered by the President‘s tweet and excited that other companies are getting involved. However, the thing is, Elon has been doing this for years and doesn’t seem to get the President’s attention with his accomplishments.
One Twitter user even called out Elon, asking, “Just so everyone knows, you’re the only one who controls your Twitter right?”, to which Musk jokingly responded, “Well, I do have multiple personality disorder, but they’re all technically in the same head.”
This has caused quite the Twitter stir and I wonder if Tesla stock will go up after this.
