Elon Musk pledged to double Tesla's vehicle output in the U.S. within the next two years.The move, Musk said Tuesday, is "a function of the great policies of President Trump and his administration," as well as "an act of faith in America.". Trump, who was standing next to Musk at the time of the announcement, patted him on the back and said, "It's a big deal.".
