Thank you for Senator Manchin, tweeted Tesla CEO Elon Musk on August 5.The tweet made reference to the contentious tax and environment agreement reached by US Senator Joe Manchin last week.
The agreement, which intends to use federal funds for energy and climate change programmes while raising taxes to reduce healthcare costs, has drawn a variety of responses.
For instance, the West Virginia Coal Association has denounced the agreement and dubbed it “egregious” in a statement. The firm has expressed concern that the agreement may “diminish” its coal-producing operations.Musk’s tweet about the subject received largely negative responses.
