That Tesla, Inc. TSLA Managing Director Elon Musk shares no relationship with the President Joe Biden is no secret. Biden’s stubbornness in not acknowledging Tesla as a leading EV maker has angered and frustrated Musk.
On July 8, Musk got the opportunity to slugfest Biden. A Twitter user shared video footage of the President announcing his action on reproductive rights, reading the teleprompter’s instructions that read “end of quote” and “repeat line” after reading a quote.
He said: “It is notable that the percentage of women who have registered to vote and cast a vote is consistently higher than the percentage of men who have done so. End of quote.” He then said “repeat the line,” which appeared to be an instruction, before repeating the quote.

Musk was quick to respond to the video. He responded by sharing an image from the movie “Anchorman,” in which Ron Burgundy absentmindedly reads everything on the prompter during a live newscast. Musk wrote: “Whoever controls the teleprompter is the real President!”
