While speaking to the audience, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-ignored-biden-gm-ceo-ev-leader-video\/\">patted GM CEO Mary Barra\u2019s back<\/a>, stating that the executive was leading the auto sector\u2019s transition to electric vehicles. \u201cYou electrified the entire automotive industry. I\u2019m serious. You led, and it matters,\u201d Biden said. The US President doubled down on this sentiment with a series of posts on Twitter, stating that the future of the US is electric.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s sentiments were later echoed by VP Kamala Harris, who also noted that the United States would be building electric vehicles, including the batteries and parts that go in them, instead of relying on other countries. Just like the President, she also noted that the \u201cfuture will be made in America.\u201d This resulted in numerous netizens poking fun at the Vice President, stating that the future is <em>already<\/em> being made in America by Tesla \u2014 for <em>over a decade<\/em>. Other Twitter users further joked that Harris might have simply never seen a Tesla, despite serving as California\u2019s attorney general from 2011 to 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and members of the current administration who are seemingly refusing even to mention the word \u201cTesla\u201d may soon find their online presence saturated with the EV maker\u2019s name.
