Elon Musk feels like he intentionally makes himself into the mainstream media for great reasons and sometimes not-so-great reasons. After tweeter backlash media houses again started writing about the world’s richest person Elon Musk, this time due to some of his weird statements on the future of electric vehicles and in a reply to president Joe Biden’s tweet on building a really big and reliable charging infrastructure for upcoming electric mobility adoption. Here’s the full report of what has happened.
President Biden tweets:
He proudly announced that America is building 50,000 electric vehicle charging stations on American roads for smooth EV adoption.
We’re building 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations across the country.

The great American road trip will be fully electrified.
To which Elon replies with an absurd statement “or you can just buy a Tesla”
Or you can just buy a Tesla

Worth mentioning that Tesla has open-sourced its charge connector and is enabling other EVs to use Tesla Superchargers

The arrogance of this statement is caught by many replies to the Tweet. People noticed that Elon is to playing smart and trying to promote its monopoly in EV industry.
One comment that destroys the moment apart is “For $8?” It clearly exposes the threat of monopolizing the EV industry and concentrating all the power on one particular body.
For $8?
