But it wasn't a UAW event. It was the Electric Vehicle Summit.


Sure, that's why Biden was introduced by an UAW member at a press conference that day, in which he first thanked the UAW, then the CEOs employing them, and then signed an executive order which offered additional tax credits on union-made EVs.

Not that it matters anymore as Trump undid all of that, so there's no longer a pledge to switch to EVs, nor is there any sort of federal tax credit for purchasing EVs (technically there still is, but only until September).

I'm sure this is a much better deal for Musk overall than not being invited to an event.


I mean, when the press secretary was asked why tesla wasnt invited, he said they invited the 3 largest employers of UAW. it sounds like a UAW event called 'Electric Vehicle Summit'?

What led you to belive it wasnt about the UAW? just the name of the event?
