Wasn't it a UAW EV summit? Or was it an event organized by executive power? Because if it was organized by executive power, i find it baffling. If it was organized by the Union like i just read, and they invited Biden who accepted, i find it weird but quite normal, and the rest is just outrage bait and whining.

It was an EV event organized by executive power, Tesla wasn't invited because a major political donor to the presidential campaign, the UAW, didn't want Tesla there.

More details from the WSJ.

Well, in that case this is dumb. And I don't think a president should organize any event that's not related to foreign policy.

The UAW is why Elon wasn't there, but the summit certainly was not organized (directly) by them.
