John Podesta and Mitch Landrieu, two top aides tasked with implementing the sprawling clean energy packages approved by Congress earlier in President Biden’s term, met with Musk and other Tesla officials at the company’s D.C. office on Jan. 27. Tesla officials expressed openness toward working with the administration on doing more to open its charging networks but made no firm commitments, the people said.
The meeting put administration officials in the potentially uncomfortable position of asking Musk — who has repeatedly sparred with Biden and other top Democratsand whose rocket business, SpaceX, is a major contractor with NASA — for help making progress on its goal of building a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers. Biden has at points declined to cite Tesla as an important U.S. automaker because of its resistance to unionization efforts, eliciting rebukes from the Tesla CEO.
Spokespeople for the White House and for Tesla declined to comment on the meeting. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Wrong move by Biden admin to talk with Musk on this issue, GM, Ford or other companies can do ths job. The Gov should stop doing joint venturs w/Musk as he is on the wrong side of what US wants. He is showing himself to be anti USA.
Some hotels have them
I would say hell no after the snub they gave him over the other auto makers and the hard time he is getting for making Twitter better
Some of you folks just take the cake. While screaming over cake vs bread as you build your verbal guillotines over 1%ers, billionaires, income inequalities, and fair shares. Mmm m m. As they say where i come from. Surely you Did Not. Shut the front door before Katie has to bar it
Wow. Rabbit hole of Can of Worms on WTF hypocrisy and bastardization of capitalism Capitalizing on his sense of altruism everyone claims does not exist. How about fiddling with details of your Infrastructure Plan to do what taxes demand you do according to why taxes are collected
I’m sure he was thrilled considering how fair they’ve been to him publicly. 😅
The fact he will talk to them means he is a bigger man than me. 🤣😂
You people should be looking into this...
Guaranteed the Welfare Queen Apartheid Clyde is going to try and squeeze the US. Deport his ass back to South Africa and let's see how he does.

So, this week he’s not a bad guy?
Hunter needs some cash.
“Biden climate goal”…let’s start by eliminating foreign agent Joe Biden.
The clown
He wants on that government teat and his chargers being Tesla only do not get him the tax money.
Greta would be happy if this whole agenda didnt come at the price of all of our freedom, health etc.
Shocked that this White House doesn’t understand how capitalism works. The moochers and looters trying to live off the backs of the innovators.
I’m grateful for the WaPo…without them my parakeet would have nothing to S*** on…because that is all this liberal rag is good for.
This would actually make financial sense for Tesla. More vehicles charging on their network equals more money for Tesla. Can you imagine if there was a separate gas station for each car brand?
I hope he told them to go pound sand.
‘In the United States, Musk said last year that the company would start making the CCS standard compatible with its charging network, but he hasn’t provided details. The 2021 infrastructure law won’t fund new charging stations that are only open to one brand of electric vehicle.’
Lol... the governments holding of private meetings with a predatoral capitalist needs to be scrutinized by the public. Remember all predators leverage tools of acquisition from public veiw.
