Elon Musk takes U.S. Labor Secretary on tour of Tesla's Gigafactory

Is the U.S. government finally ready to work with Elon Musk and Tesla ? The relationship between them, particularly Joe Biden and Elon Musk , has been a bit weird for the past year , with Biden seeming to go out of his way to snub Tesla and just straight up pretend that they don't exist.

But are things starting to turn around? There are a few examples that would actually lead us to believe that yes, the feds are warming up to Elon Musk .

In an interview with CNBC , Elon Musk said Joe Biden has pointedly ignored Tesla at every turn and falsely stated to the public that GM leads the electric car industry.

Joe Biden's favorite car maker, GM , delivered 2.2 million vehicles in 2021 , a 13% decline from 2020 numbers and significantly down from the 2.9 million cars delivered in 2019 .

The UAW has a long history in the Fremont plant, having represented employees in the factory from its days as AGM plant to NUMMI plant, which was a joint venture of GM and Toyota .

During a meeting between UAW officials and Fremont workers, discussions became so heated that a fight nearly broke out.
