The president-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk are now great allieswe have learned this well in the last few days. Even the CEO of Tesla arrived at support Trump’s proposal to eliminate the federal tax credit for those who buy electric cars (one of the electoral promises), a move that would obviously also damage Tesla itself. But Musk risks paying dearly for this support.
The Governor of California, Gavin Newsomis in fact ready to revive the incentive program in your stateand create a tax deduction identical to the one that would be eliminated, equal to $7,500. But since Musk supports eliminating incentives, Newsom obliges, and wants to exclude Tesla from eligibility for the deduction.
To do this, a mechanism is being studied that is based on market shares, favoring those who sell fewer electric vehicles, and since Tesla is always at the top of the sales charts, it would automatically be excluded. The reason given would be to encourage the success of all brands, it’s actually just an excuse to punish Musk for his political choices.
Obviously the CEO’s response was not long in comingagain in the middle of a post on X: “Even though Tesla is the only company that makes its electric vehicles in California! It’s madness. This move will hurt jobs in California“. It’s strange how Musk is aggressive about these Californian incentives, while on the other hand he hopes for the closure of the federal ones.
It must also be remembered that the company has been critical of the state in the recent past, so much so move its headquarters to Texasalthough one of its most important factories is still in Fremont, right in California.
