among those invited to the White House to sign the declaration of an increase in the share of electric vehicles in the US auto industry did not turn out to be the leader – the company TESLA. The US Secretary of Transport Pete Buttigich admitted that he did not know why President Joe Biden would decide the fate of the industry without Ilona Mask. Words Policy gives CNBC.
US President on August 5 will sign a decree, according to which by 2030 half-selling cars sold in the US should be environmentally friendly – that is, electrocars or hybrids.
In support of Baiden’s plans at the event, the autohydrons Ford, GM and Stellantis will perform (formed thanks to Fiat Chrysler with PSA), as well as united auto workers union. Tesla does not consist in any union, but supporting trade unions the White House did not adopt it about the upcoming event. No invitation confirmed the general director of the company Ilon Mask in his twitter .
Transport Minister Pete Buttijich assures that he did not see the post of head Tesla, and when answering a question about him hurried to change the topic. “We are very pleased that the Americans will soon be massively repaid on electric cars,” the politician said, and continued to describe the bright future to which the widespread introduction of transport on electric motors will lead.
When Bouttijik was asked to comment on the lack of Tesla at the event, he said that the Administration of Byyden appreciates the contribution of all car companies stimulating the production of electric vehicles – not only those three who were invited to the White House.
The unwillingness of the American Government to call Ilona Mask to the event may be associated with the criticism of the head of Tesla to trade unions. In March 2021, National Labor Relations Office accused a company in violating the law when dismissing the trade union activist Richard Ortis. The reason for the dissatisfaction of the authorities was the tweet of a mask, published in 2018. In it, the general director promised to deprive the workers in the trade unions of preferences in the acquisition of TESLA shares.
