Elon Musk dubbed Joe Biden a ‘damp sock puppet’ after he wasn’t invited to a meeting at the White House focusing on electric vehicles, but CEOs of General Motors (GM) and Ford were in attendance.
The billionaire Tesla CEO, 50, called President Joe Biden, 79, a ‘damp sock puppet’ after he wasn’t invited to president’s Build Back Better meeting that focused on producing electric vehicles in the US on Wednesday.
Biden praised General Motors and Ford in a tweet on Wednesday for ‘building more electric vehicles here at home than ever before.’
‘I meant it when I said the future was going to be made right here in America,’ Biden wrote on Twitter. ‘Companies like GM and Ford are building more electric vehicles here at home than ever before.’
Musk, whose billion-dollar company makes its vehicles in California and is now headquartered in Austin, Texas, didn’t take the snub lightly, replying to the tweet: ‘Starts with a T, Ends with an A, ESL in the middle.’
He later replied again: ‘Biden is a wet [sock] puppet in human form.’
