The recent actions from @NHTSAgov appeared politically motivated and strongly biased against Tesla. This appointment of Missy Cummings appears to confirm that theory. Thoughts @elonmusk?
@MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov Objectively, her track record is extremely biased against Tesla
@elonmusk @MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov Elon it would appear it is the time to start playing in the sandbox with the other kids… lobbying and advertising, even as a small % of Tesla annual expense done professionally with good intentions, is good for the mission.
@tslatalk @elonmusk @MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov Wouldn’t you be happier, though, if he doesn’t and Tesla still hits every measurable goal that we’d all like? Without playing by their rules? And this might even help dismantle the rules entirely in the future as others study Elon/Tesla in history class?
@coffeetabletsla @elonmusk @MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov Anyone/thing that gets in the way of Tesla’s goals should be handled. It would be a relatively small sum of money in order to get the opposition out of the way. If the @POTUS has taught us anything, lobbyists are at the core of policy/corruption and for a cheap price too.
@tslatalk @elonmusk @MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov @POTUS Hmm. Ok. Just wouldn’t be my go to, then, I guess. I love Elon’s drive to do it the hard way in order to do it the right way.
@coffeetabletsla @elonmusk @MatchasmMatt @NHTSAgov @POTUS I mean it sounds good, but just when you think it’s shady, it gets even shadier. Time to take the gloves off.
