Michigan is not a friendly place for Tesla, Elon Musk, or EVs in general. In fact, its not a friendly place for any new innovators, upcoming automotive companies, or the like. You cant buy a Tesla in Michigan and few EVs are available, let alone public charging stations. In addition, while you may be able to have a used EV shipped right to your home for a low fee in most states via CarMax or CarDirect Michigan might say nope, thats against the law!

Additional Tesla CEO Elon Musk Coverage:

So, when Tesla doesnt show up at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, and Elon doesnt make a grand entrance, were far from surprised. Hell go ahead and give oodles of his hard-earned money to Flint, MI to help fix the continuing problems with the water quality on top of sending more money for the children in the area to all get laptops for school but to send a car or set foot in a Detroit-based auto show would be against everything the CEO believes in.

Despite Tesla and Elons lack of attendance at NAIAS yet again this year, CNET announced the CEO asDisruptor of the Year. Musk was officially awarded the honor as part of CNETs Roadshow Shift Awards. He beat out two other disruptive CEOs from McLaren automotive and Bird electric scooters. Executive editor of Roadshow, Chris Paukert shared:

Were not necessarily judging tremendous accomplishments. Were just looking at who stirred the pot the most this year.

The award was not only for Tesla vehicles, but also for Musks Boring company. Roadshow Editor in Chief Tim Stevens said:

He of course couldnt be with us today. Hes somewhere between here and Mars right now.

We set all the adversity and issues aside and say Way to go, Elon!
