> 1. Tesla gets no invite to whitehouse EV summit despite being the sole reason for the current EV movement
Why would Tesla be at a summit on union-made EVs? If you look at the actual speech Biden gave at the event, a lot of it is pretty counter to Tesla's anti-union stance: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/20...
1. Tesla gets no invite to whitehouse EV summit despite being the sole reason for the current EV movement
2. Tesla model 3/Y initially barred from new EV subsidies
3. SpaceX being investigated by justice department for not hiring foreigners (literally illegal due to ITAR)
4. NASA awards blue origin more than it awarded SpaceX for lunar lander despite them having zero orbital rocket experience or even a proper roadmap to orbit
5. FAA drags heels on approving starlink tests preventing progress on the requirements they say were failed to have been met today
6. Today's news about FCC revoking subsidy for the only company that actually cares to provide highspeed internet to rural Americans, which congress has appropriated funding for several times in the past two decades, and rewarded companies have failed to deliver on
It's safe to say any kind of bullshit can be justified (with even more bullshit reasons), so it's hard to believe actions like this are made good faith. I'm not just going to trust criminals because they're robbing someone I don't like.
