Elon Musk is taking his travel ban objections directly to Trump

Elon Musk says he will raise objections to President Trump's controversial immigration order at a meeting at the White House on Friday.

The Tesla (TSLA) chief defended his participation in Trump's business advisory council just hours after Uber CEO Travis Kalanick announced he was pulling out of it.

"Advisory councils simply provide advice and attending does not mean that I agree with actions by the Administration," Musk said in a statement posted on Twitter late Thursday.

"I understand the perspective of those who object to my attending this meeting," he said. "But I believe at this time that engaging on critical issues will on balance serve the greater good."

but he needs to be mindful that tRump will cut out the $7,500 credit / vehicle when he starts the tax code revision.

But got to give him kudos for standing up to the cheeto.
