US President Joe Biden has publicly joked about Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX and Tesla, and Twitter owner, for his ability to lead. It happened at the reception of the Association of Correspondents at the White House.
The head of state told a journalist that he loves US National Public Radio (NPR) and immediately recalled Musk’s tweet that this media should be deprived of funding.
“The best way to make NPR disappear is for Elon Musk to buy it. And that’s more true than you think.“, – quotes Biden TASS.
The businessman himself has not yet responded to the joke addressed to him.
Recall that on October 28, Musk acquired the social network Twitter for $ 44 billion, after which he dissolved the board of directors and fired many employees. He also made many unpopular decisions to develop the social network, such as paid confirmation of the accounts of companies and celebrities.
As a result, according to The New York Times, the company’s value fell to $20 billion. And according to The Wall Street Journal, the company’s net profit fell by 40%.
