Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said President Joe Biden and his administration are “biased” against his company, citing a recent White House event touting electric vehicles that excluded the automaker.

Musk, who spoke Tuesday at the Code Conference in Beverly Hills, California, said the administration is overly influenced by organized labor. He said he’d prefer to see a more centrist president.
