In a recent interview, former US President Trump revealed that if he were to be re-elected as President of the United States, he would implement a series of measures to impact the tax policies in the electric vehicle industry. One of his plans includes revoking the $7,500 tax credit provided to consumers purchasing electric vehicles. Trump believes that this policy may have led to market distortions and provided unfair competitive advantages to traditional American automobile manufacturers. Additionally, Trump expressed interest in Tesla CEO Elon Musk, stating that if Musk is willing, he would consider inviting him to join his government team, either as a cabinet member or an advisor. Trump noted that as a successful business leader, Musk has extensive experience in electric vehicles and space exploration, which could bring new perspectives and innovations to his administration. These remarks reflect Trump's attention to the electric vehicle industry and its policies, as well as his recognition of Musk's personal talents and potential willingness to collaborate. However, whether these plans will become a reality in future campaigns will depend on the outcome of the election and future policy decisions.
