Online Public Relations Thoughts

Elon Musk, the king of electrical vehicles, is blasting the proposed government spending on EV's in proposed legislation before the Senate.  He wants Congress and the White House to get out of the way.  Musk is forgetting subsidies for Teslas that spurred uptake of the vehicle at a time when EVs were considered exotic and range-limited.  Now that the market is developed and exploding in growth, he doesn't want any more Federal help.  The Secretary of Transportation begs to differ and says some things "don't happen on their own."  Pete Buttigieg is right about that, especially when it comes to getting rid of all gas guzzlers in favor of electric motors and batteries.  Musk isn't afraid of picking a public quarrel but it is hard to see how he can win this war of words.  One hopes he doesn't.
