A diptych of President Joe Biden and Elon Musk
President Joe Biden praised Elon Musk after Tesla committed to opening up its charging network to rivals by the end of 2024.
  • On Wednesday, US President Biden offered up some rare praise for an unlikely candidate. 
  • Elon Musk opened up Tesla's charging network to rivals. "That's a big deal, and it'll make a big difference," Biden tweeted. 
  • That's unusual, as Biden and Musk appear to have a strained relationship, and even traded barbs publicly.

Elon Musk has been under intense scrutiny since his takeover of Twitter — but things appear to be on the up at Tesla, where he is also CEO.
