Democrats like to pretend they’re the party looking out for the little guy.
But it couldn’t be farther from the truth.
And they just blew up after Elon Musk revealed who is really pulling the strings.
Big Labor has owned Democrats for decades.
Unions pour hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns for Democrats.
They also ensure thousands of volunteers show up to support those campaigns.
Naturally, that means Democrats are bought and owned by them so when it’s time to push Big Labor Boss friendly policies, Democrats are front and center every time.
And the center of power when it comes to Big Labor is the automotive industry.
But when Elon Musk was building Tesla into a powerhouse, he had the good sense to steer clear of Detroit’s corrupt system.
He built Tesla into the biggest electric vehicle manufacturer in the United States union-free.
That’s enough to absolutely infuriate the United Auto Workers (UAW) — a powerful lobby that’s absolutely controlled Detroit’s “big three” car companies for generations.
Of course, the UAW has tried every trick in the book to force its way into Tesla, but the company and its workers have consistently told them to take a flying leap.
Naturally, that has the UAW livid as they watch Tesla grow into a major contender.
During an interview with the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley Club, Musk revealed how desperate the union is to get a piece of the action at Tesla.
“The general public is not aware of the degree to which unions control the Democratic Party,” Musk said. “One does not need to speculate on this point.”
“Last year, Biden held an EV summit where Tesla was explicitly not allowed to come, but the [United Auto Workers] was,” he explained.
While Joe Biden is hell-bent on doing away with cars that run on fossil fuels, he’s also completely ignoring the one company producing electric cars that actually work.
“Tesla has made two-thirds of all the electric vehicles in the United States,” Musk said. “So, deliberately excluding us from an EV summit at the White House — but including UAW — tells you everything you need to know.”
It turns out Big Labor is pulling the strings behind the scenes at the White House.
“They have so much power over the White House that they can exclude Tesla from an EV summit — insane,” Musk pointed out.
The UAW political machine kicked into gear to get Biden into office in the first place in midwestern battleground states including Michigan and Wisconsin.
The UAW dumped ten of millions of dollars into Biden’s presidential campaign — and got boots on the ground to get out the vote.
Now Biden is obligated to pay the union back by excluding Tesla as his administration pushes electric vehicles.
Even in his $4 trillion “Build Back Better” scheme he planned to give tax credits to electric vehicles made with union labor while cutting Tesla out of the windfall.
It’s obvious, Biden is determined to pay back his political debts to Big Labor on the taxpayer dime.
The situation is so laughably out of control that Biden even praised GM CEO Mary Barra for leading the “EV revolution” during the White House electric vehicle summit when her company produced a mere 26 electric cars that quarter.
“That’s some next-level insanity,” Musk declared.
And we have at least two more years of this mind-numbingly stupid—and unethical—behavior ahead of us.
