Biden supports on electric cars made by unions?DailyWire: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk blasted President Joe Biden following his State of the Union address, noting his decision to ignore Tesla in favor of Ford and GM’s new electric vehicle ventures. During his speech on Tuesday evening, President Biden nodded to Ford and its manufacturing in the United States. While the White House has frequently lauded the efforts of Ford and GM, Tesla — the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer — has often been omitted. The snubbing may lie in the fact that Tesla is not unionized, as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki hinted l... read more

This is a "cost-saving" strategy, it allows commercial enterprises to develop technologies at a faster pace than government, and it allows US commercial dominance in space - public and private dominance but led ... read more
