Elon Musk’s answer to the President’s tweet

When Elon Musk did not see his mention -that produces electric cars- in the President’s State of the Union address. Tesla’s C.E.O. made fun of the Presidency’s tweet with a sarcastic reply. He also asked the person handling his account to check the facts. He tweeted on Tuesday night that Tesla is doing 50,000 jobs in U.S.A. building electric vehicles. Elon claimed that his company is investing more than double that of G.M. and Ford combined.

Musk said that the President “is treating the American public like fools” after his meeting with the executives of General Motors and Ford Motor this year in January.
