President
Joe Biden

‘s recent opinion about the financial state of America.
According to
Reuters
, Musk told his Tesla executives via email that he had a “super bad feeling” about the
future of the US economy, prompting him to cease hiring and lay off a whopping 10 percent of the company’s staff.
When asked about the situation at a press conference on June 3, Biden responded sternly.
“While Elon Musk is talking about that, Ford is increasing their investment, overwhelmingly,” he retorted.
“I think Ford is increasing the investment in building new electric vehicles.
Six thousand employees – union employees, I might add, in the Midwest.
The former Chrysler Corporation, they also are making similar investments in electric vehicles.
Intel is adding 20,000 new jobs making computer chips,” he added, laying down his argument.
