It pays to be pro union for him. Did what Musk spent against him in the election hurt ?
Not all unions paid the Dems back.

I stand corrected, well partially it was a clean car summit. He should have been invited regardless of what you want to call it.

Pete Buttigieg says he doesn't know why Elon Musk's Tesla wasn't invited to Biden's clean-car showcase
Elon Musk tweeted overnight, "Yeah, seems odd that Tesla wasn't invited" to Biden's clean-car event at the White House alongside Ford, GM and the UAW.

He spent $260 million against you or more. You held an EV meeting and didn’t invite the largest EV marker in the country.

Part of his underlying point is you can’t do those things out of power. Which is what is happening now. I don’t think the all-in will meet the growing power needs, though battery storage is improving. An issue for Biden Dems was the lack of embracing of Tesla, a battery storage company. That hurt

Right so his point seems like why not straddle both like the Obama administration, ramping up clean, while maintaining oil/gas, and disincentivizing coal. Our energy needs continue to expand and all-in does not seem practical right now, for Dems. And I agree.

So are you saying the Obama administration didn’t invest in oil and natural gas, while also ramping up government support for clean energy investments as well? I was under the impression from seeing numbers, they did both.

They bought the Chappaqua house in 1999!! She won the senatorial election in 2000, how many statewide interests did she have a chance to learn? It was a blue state gift. Again she is a qualified candidate, but I am not letting you hire for our company, if you dismiss Bush 1 over her.

I am capturing his resume. She was Secretary of State, did a great job. She was more qualified than her husband when she ran, then when he did. But saying she was more nationally experienced then Bush 1, is just plain <insert swear here>.

Dude, House of Rep, ambassador to UN, in China embassy, CIA head, VP 8 years, POTUS for 4. Hillary got Pat Moynihan seat in a blue state, one she wasn’t even a resident in for a long time, right after her husband was POTUS. Statewide who gives a damn.

But her main focus during that period was health care, which actually flopped. Now she may have learned a fair amount in failure to help her as a Senator, but his original pretense that Bush 1 had more is correct.

No he is right, Bush 1 had more experience. She had a decent background but not over Bush 1.
