President Joe Biden on Tuesday publicly mentioned Tesla for the first time in his presidency, after multiple complaints from the company’s CEO Elon Musk, who carped on Twitter and in interviews that Biden seemed to be deliberately ignoring his firm’s trailblazing role in the electric vehicle market.
Biden’s long-to-arrive shoutout to Tesla came at a White House event announcing that an Australian maker of electrical vehicle chargers will build a manufacturing facility in Lebanon, Tennessee.
