According to the ministry, Le Maire and Musk will talk about recently announced tax credits for green investments that were unveiled to compete with the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). According to Le Maire, the government and Musk would also discuss electric vehicles during their discussions.
Le Maire responded, “All investments that are being made today are the result of months or even years of negotiations,” when asked by BFM TV if any announcement was likely.
