Every time President Joe Biden makes a reference to the electrification of the American car sector, Elon Musk seizes the chance to poke fun at him.
This time, the Tesla and Twitter CEO took aim at POTUS again with new ‘toy’, Twitter, to respond to a message from the American president.
Biden boasted about the work of his government regarding the creation of new electric charging infrastructure by announcing that work was underway to bring the number of points across the United States to 500,000 stations. This was approved last September and the US government will dedicate 900 million dollars to it.
Or you can just buy a Tesla

“The great American road trip will be fully electrified”, ended Biden’s tweet.
However, Musk’s response was immediate and blunt.
“Or you can just buy a Tesla.”
Musk often brings up the issue of charging stations in his conflicts with the president. His own network of charging stations now stands at 40,000 worldwide.
The Tesla founder also reminded the American president that his business has begun to expand access to its chargers, enabling other electric vehicles to utilize Tesla Superchargers, something that is also possible at European stations (including some Spanish ones).
In spite of the fact that Tesla is the company that sells the most clean-propulsion automobiles in the nation, the Democratic president has consistently overlooked the company in his speeches, which has contributed to the ongoing “war” between Biden and Musk.
