US President Joe Biden was at the inauguration of $General Motors(GM.US)$'s Factory Zero yesterday, the company's first electric vehicle factory, and he gave a speech in which he gave credit to GM CEO Mary Barra for "electrifying the entire auto industry."
Now, Musk has responded to $Tesla(TSLA.US)$'s Full Self-Driving beta testers Kim Paquette on Twitter, who said, "What a slap in the face to all the American Tesla employees who worked so hard to actually lead the way."
"Indeed," said Musk.
What is clear is that the electrification of transport would perhaps not be happening on the scale that it is without Tesla, which in 2021 remains the market leader on a global scale.
Mooers, do you think the president exaggerated facts and who's the real leader in the electric auto industry?
