The first presidential debate in the run up to the 2024 elections has elicited a strong response from Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, who dismissed both the candidates, former President Donald Trump, and President Joe Biden, as "talking puppets."
2024年選舉前的第一場總統辯論引起了特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的強烈反應，他對前總統唐納德·特朗普和現任總統喬·拜登兩位候選人都不屑一顧，稱他們是“說話的木偶”。
What Happened: Musk, who has so far been openly critical of Biden and his policies, has also taken a snipe Trump, in one of his first reactions to the debate.
