The feud between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and U.S. President Joe Biden still shows no signs of subsiding anytime soon, even though Biden acknowledged Tesla’s electric vehicle lead in a speech early last month.
In his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, Biden mentioned that Ford and GM have invested a combined $18 billion in electric vehicles, but made no mention of Tesla.
Some media asked Musk’s opinion on this, and Musk responded: No one will watch the State of the Union address.
Tesla has created over 50,000 US jobs building electric vehicles & is investing more than double GM + Ford combined

Musk then tweeted directly to Biden, saying that Tesla has created more than 50,000 jobs in the United States in the production of electric vehicles, and the investment is more than twice that of GM and Ford combined.
