This compliment comes after a recent exchange of criticism with the company’s CEO Elon Musk, who had retreated in his own criticism of the president the day before.
US President Donald Trump publicly praised Tesla’s electric vehicle manufacturer on Thursday followed by a recent barbs with the company’s CEO Elon Musk.
“I like Tesla,” said Trump during an event held at the White House dedicated to the rules of electric vehicles in the state of California. This statement arises a day after Elon Musk retreated in criticism that was weaving against the Republican President.
The tension between the two has intensified in recent days, with Trump threatening, even threatening his Red Tesla from the White House, in a symbolic gesture of displeasure to the billionaire entrepreneur.
Despite the recent friction, Tesla remains one of the main references in the electric vehicle sector, in a context where environmental and technological policy is increasingly at the center of government decisions.
