Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and a senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, had a short response to B.C. Premier David Eby’s justification for removing rebates for his company’s electric-vehicle chargers.

“Crazy,” wrote Musk on his social media platform X.com, in response to a video of Eby speaking about the rebate ban.

BC Hydro posted a memo on its website Wednesday saying Tesla products are no longer eligible for EV charger rebates, which range from $350 for a residential unit to $2,000 for a workplace unit.

Eby was asked why on Thursday, and whether the change to the rebate policy applied to all U.S. manufacturers or just Tesla.

“Yeah, it’s just for Tesla, and it’s because of Elon Musk,” said Eby.

“I think if tens of thousands of taxpayers’ money was going to Elon Musk, they would want to throw up, so we removed them.”
