San Francisco, Dec 4 (TIWN) Elon Musk on Sunday advised Joe Biden to buy a Tesla, as the US President revealed plans to build 5 lakh electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the country.

Biden recently announced the release of the first round of funding for a nationwide EV charging network, financing the construction of stations in 35 states.

"We're building 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations across the country. The great American road trip will be fully electrified," posted Biden on Twitter.

Musk replied: "Or you can just buy a Tesla".

Biden further posted from @POTUS account: "You hired me to get things done - I hope I'm making you proud."

Musk again replied: "I kinda like this post tbh (to be honest)".

Earlier this year, Musk said no one was watching Biden after the President did not mention Tesla during his State of the Union speech.

"Nobody is watching the State of the Union," Musk told CNBC.
