Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently responded to the growing controversy in the 2024 U.S. presidential race after a video of Vice President Kamala Harris stirred significant debate. In the clip, shared by filmmaker Eric Abbenante on X, Harris makes a bold statement about the possibility of the U.S. government seizing patents. She asserts, "I will snatch their patent, so that we [the American government] will take over. Yes, we can do that! The question is: 'Do you have the will to do it?' I have the will to do it," which quickly sparked widespread discussion. Musk strongly opposed Harris's remarks, and Texas Governor Gregg Abbott also criticized the proposal, contributing to the growing controversy. The discussion surrounding the patent takeover plan has intensified online, with Musk's reaction underscoring broader concerns about government interference in intellectual property.
