Elon Musk continued his months-long effort to get U.S. President Joe Biden to credit Tesla Inc. for its electric vehicle leadership by sending a message to the United Auto Workers union.

The Tesla chief executive officer tweeted Thursday that the UAW was welcome to hold a vote at the company’s San Francisco Bay area factory. The company “will do nothing to stop them,” Musk said of the union.
