FILE - In this July 16, 2019 file photo, General Motors Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra speaks during the opening of their contract talks with the United Auto Workers in Detroit. General Motors says it will no longer support the Trump administration in legal efforts to end California's right to set its own clean-air standards. Barra said in a letter Monday, Nov. 23, 2020 to environmental groups that GM will pull out of the lawsuit, and it urges other automakers to do so.
She said the company agrees with President-elect Joe Biden’s plan to expand electric vehicle use. Last week, GM said it is testing a new battery chemistry that will bring electric-vehicle costs down to those of gas-powered vehicles within five years.ADVERTISEMENT Dan Becker of the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the environmental groups Barra wrote to, said GM was wrong in trying to stop California from protecting its people from auto pollution.
The group called itself the “Coalition or Sustainable Automotive Regulation” and included Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Isuzu, Suzuki, Maserati, McLaren, Aston-Martin and Ferrari.
PattyArquette So GM waited until trump lost before deciding this?
PattyArquette It no longer benefits them financially.
PattyArquette No future government contracts for you!
PattyArquette Doing something about climate change, and the pollution you're responsible for...it's about damn time GM.
PattyArquette On the right side of history now.
PattyArquette Right, after he lost. Pathetic GM
PattyArquette Here comes a Green New Deal bailout for GM
This women will send gm bankrupt
* The Associated Press: California Should Adhere To A Standard That Has Already Been Set, Not Allowing Big Company's To Set The Standards For Clean Air !!!
Why?
perfect example of pathetic leadership
In other werds, he got his a$$ Fired. GTFOTRUMP
Pure politics they just want to get on Biden's good side
JoeBiden all you need to know is that mtbarra and GM sided with trump to oppose the emissions standards and now that you won, they’re scurrying away from the dark side. Sticking with Tesla.
True Conservatives are strong supporters of the 10th Amendment and don't want any part of a Federal lawsuit limiting a State's right to set their standards. 10thAmendment
We are a family, says General Motors. And it is the family members who are being forced to commit suicide in India. May protests against General Motors.
'We now realise that the politician we shamelessly backed to the hilt is no longer going to be able to give us tax breaks and so we've seamlessly pivoted up the backside of a new politician. [Insert Corporate Principles Statement Here]'. Shame on GM
A bit late, isn't it Miss Barra? You just now realized that being in a lawsuit on Trump's side is not a good idea? Your commitment to Trump anti-science, climate change se deniers and corporate greed have tarnished your career and GM's reputation! climatechange GeneralMotors
Such crap, total ignorance and stupidity. Let us wait and see?
Yeah, okay. Lol
Hardly leadership but in this instance better to have their flip-flop involvement then not.
Biancacameron
You getting your millions each year.
Woah you mean a big massive company is gonna waffle in its position to suck up to the new president so they can make even more money SHOCKING The consumers will pay dearly not the manufacturer!
DJSnM This is what they call convenient timing.
I guess...🤨 GM, and tired companies like them, are simply changing with the political wind. 🚮 $uddenly.
GM It would have been way more impressive if they had the balls to condemn DT during the last 4 yrs! And not 58 days before Biden becomes President. Lost my respect forever.
Yes! 'Can do together' America. We ARE that country, we are those people.
It feels like the wind is changing. 😂😂😂
They should’ve been on the California side all along they caved to trump I won’t be buying GM cars future
Maybe General Motors should spend less time playing politics and more time finding a fix for faulty Camaro A8 transmissions.
Why the hell were they against the clean air standards in the first place? Was neutrality not an option?
Better late than NEVER
Mary Barra to all GM internal combustion engine & diesel engine designers & engineers Fuck You we are going All Electric in a few years. Thanks for your service but you are all gone soon we dont need you anymore
What else are you going to cut emissions GM?
TheConductor51 They should be applauded for this? This comes after trump’s phony legal challenges fall apart and GSA finally signs off on transition.
ceili_woman GM CEO licks finger, sticks it in the air and finds out which way the wind is blowing. Acts accordingly.
UncleRee1
So they support California's agenda to get rid of cars? Amusing
And we the people supposed to support these big companies who can’t convince the majority that the November election was fair😂😂😂😂😂
CA commies can regulate that septic state into oblivion. While it slides into economic chaos
Anhhhh man I missed the swamp! Finally back!
siracusa Nice backbone GM. I bet this has something to do with why you haven’t built a decent car in 40 years.
Hahaha! Oh shit! And hi to you Bob! Today on twitter ppl lost a whooole of shit, because they didn't want to save money or breath properly, yes Bob, fredom! With just the one e. Back to the studio Bob. Wtf is happening to ppl 😂
Good for them.... Still never buying a gm product in my life again regardless.
Hahahaha! They weren’t going to be able to sell cars in California!
More bad news for Trump 😫
She’s not dumb. She can tell that the wind just changed directions.
Why did GM support it?
'GM Motors stops supporting the outgoing president to start supporting the incoming president'.
This is nothing but Big Labor suckling up to the teat of Big Government to drink a big mouthful of titty cash!
I'm glad to hear this, but disappointed that GM waited for political cover to do the right thing. They should have rejected POTUS45's lawsuit from the beginning. ProfilesInCowardice
Never agree with California... It's the most communist state. Anything they do is wrong
Dude hasn't even turned in his keys yet and sanity is already being restored, WHEW!!!
GM and other auto manufacturers should never have joined that lawsuit in the first place. They knew California's standards reflected the science and the will of Californians who wanted to breathe fresh air and see the sun on sunny days.
Why did they do that in the first place. I guess that’s why I don’t support GM anymore!!
Everyone is running from Donald Loser!
I'm guessing Ford just clued in that trump is long-term MARKETING POISON.
This has a very ‘the king is dead, long live the king’ kinda vibe to it.
Cant read this due to pop ups
What did you expect them to do. There will be a vindictive oberführer in the Whitehouse as of January 21st and if they don’t comply, they will be taken over by the Government.
Good decision GM!
Nice. Great start GM
Bye bye GM. Sell your stock now. Bc those factory jobs will dissappear again...
Only because they see the writing on the wall. Screw them!!
Every business and country that put up with Trump because he was President are now coming back to reality
This will lead to 50 different standards. How does anybody think this is a good idea 💡 💡 🤔. Hard to believe CA is going to set a standard for the rest of the country.
Not buying your garbage product no matter what you do.. only Honda and Toyota in this house
Name one electricity producing medium which does not have an adverse effect on earth. Electronic cars are a lie. They sound nice, that's all.
Corporations .... the same GM that got bailed out by taxpayers? USA Inc. for real. We are the dummies to keep playing along with the system
Our ship is finally being steered in the right direction again
Talk about chasing the cart...
It's GM.. Hahaha..
90% of GM's revenue is their trucks and SUV's. Time to take our money elsewhere
They’re all swimming away from the sinking Trumptanic
Welp that solidified my decision to never buy GM
matt_annati 👏👏👏👏👏
Turncoats
PalominoPony Is this an Act of patriotism, or just knowing where your bread is buttered? In any case, it's a good move for the planet! Thanks, GM!
Good to know that they supported the idiot this long I'll never buy GM crap again
truth_tesla interesting timing for GM’s change of heart...
They are switch up on his ASS now 😂 😂
GM's 'right to poison the air' lawsuit against California:
GM certifies Biden as president....🤣🤣😂🤣
Brad714OC Trump losses keep stacking up
Big Auto, what a bunch. From emissions defeat devices to supporting one of the most dysfunctional US administrations ever. Corporate charlatans.
Because they realised trumps going to jail
About face? Why? Were they just appeasing tRump ?
It’s about time
Elections have consequences. Some of those consequences come from companies falling in line behind new administrations, without a new law ever needing to be written.
Whatever’s popular.
Bye Donnie
PattyArquette Worked in the automotive industry for years. CA's difficult standards have been baked in for decades. I despise GM for even having entertained their repeal. It is astonishing that they're now 'backing out' from his ideas as if they are decent somehow. The stain lingers, GM.
Any time you find yourself on the same side as Trump - stand back and reconsider your position!
Yea way to jump on board with a failing state. Ran by a politician who has bank rolled off taxpayers money while the homelessness rises so do there bank accounts. Pelosi has a net worth of $221 million dollars. So why is her state in such disarray. Because she is a dictator
All of a sudden? A little late no? mtbarra
I applaud them.
BillWongLLC Super impressed one of the most poorly behaving companies is finally pulling a chicken shit effort to distance themselves.
boycottGM
Well done 👏🙌
Last Chev I buy ... Maybe I'll start making my own car !!!
Flapping in the breeze
🤣🤣🤣
My, my, now isn’t that brave of them...
Damn straight bravo
The opposite of bravery. The definition of morally defunct.
sllertzman Isn’t that moot?
Thank you!!!
Oh, okay.
Even though it took for the Trumptanic to sink for GM to change course and do the right thing, I am glad they have.
zismo64 CEOs are like politicians, they can tell which way the wind blows and change direction accordingly in pursuit of corporate interests.
Good deal
One look at the cabinet and a 180?
The fact they did it in the first place is disgusting and tells you everything you need to know about GM
Oh how contagious of GM to announce this weeks after Trump got trounced at the polls
Hooray!
Why? Because Trump is no longer in charge?
Nice of them to take a principled stand against him now he’s been ejected
Who are they kidding? It’s a matter of, We’ve got a new admin coming in & they’re not gonna let us get away with murder, like trump was willing to as long as he got something ($$$) out of it.
She will help bring down GM and our economy! Disgusting! 😡
Money talks; that is all. Do not covey any altruism to this grubber.
Bunch of sheep
ITS JUST STARTING
How interesting that they are now changing course. Perhaps 2017 would have been a good time to do the right thing.
How convenient
Lol. Fight Trump because GM wants Chinese parts and labor. The American tax payer should have never bailed out any private company. 'Government Motors' should have failed and then bought out by people who know how to run something. Liberal policy killed Detroit.
The GOP only cares about States' rights when it fits their agenda.
Boycott GM just because they supported it in the first place.
Gangster move
Thank you. For the record, trump is the worst president in US history who lost the popular vote twice since 1869. Now he lost the confidence of all businesses.
That's what happens when the government funds gm.
This is hilarious. So if Trump won they would’ve still killed themselves?!?
Thanks GM
Crazypaws I feel like I remember reading they tried to oppose it. Saying the savings to them was nominal, and the benefit great. But he literally forced it thru to claim credit for doing something. Or am I remembering some other terrible event he initiated down everyone's throat?
granny_st Ford, Volkswagen, Honda and BMW were already on board with the CA regs. At least GM finally caught up.
Stopped supporting a guy who leaves office in 2 months. How brave
lol...you know she was just waiting for this moment.
How convenient . . .
They will be making big $$$ off of their new models, duh
Now they see the light. No deal with weasels. Too corrupt or weak to begin with. I have no use for GM.
Still got to respect the companies that aligned with California - Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, BMW, Honda.
NancySinatra I love you California! ❤️ my always and forever home state!
Us Californians don’t like when people come in and mess with our air quality. Thank you GM! ByeByeTrump
F*ck the environment! Go capitalism
nothing like doing the right thing when you have no choice
And that’s why GM is a crap company.
Trump admin is the lamest of ducks so there is nothing left to support. The question is why did GM support Trump in the first place.
Just protecting their interests nothing else
Haha. You do not need a rule/law to set your own better standards. Nice try.
OliviaC019 How sad that our so called potus held companies hostage for 4 years.
Very effective PR as well.
Wow so powerful
And now that i know those fuck faces supported trump, i will never buy an American car
Wake up people... the vehicles produce less emissions but the production of the batteries are more harm to the planet than gas.
Timely.
This just shows you the true heart of people behind these companies. They are faithful to no one.
I knew the support for Trump would collapse quickly the second he was gone, but holy hanna, the lols are coming faster by the second.
Convenient
I guess they are on their own.
And that’s why I never buy GM products ever. Remember when they took the taxpayer bailout money under Obama? Never paid it back
This is not a surprise because GM is already moving vehicle production towards EVs. This just changes the 'image' of the company and hopefully gets them some tax breaks along the way.
Talk about their timing... 🙄
Did California Democrats threaten higher taxes for General Motors ?
This is exactly why I'd never buy a GM product again. I prefer dealing with companies who are truly committed to improving the environment rather than those who blow in the political wind.
Long Live California and Electric Vehicles!
DJSnM Very noble. I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with the fact that the Trump administration is going down in flames 😏
What a weasel!
Be sure it will not be a GM car in my near future.
whichever the way wind blows
Wow, what bravery to make this announcement weeks after it’s clear that trump lost.
Another ally abandons him when they realize he's not helping them.
So much winning, Donald.
This CEO is begging a useless governor in a useless state to do something in return for backing their stupid position t turn all cars into battery driven cars. The batteries will do more to ruin the atmosphere than a regular car. Get real with this complete BS.
joan_cpc Voluntary compliance right before the hammer comes down.
I will never buy a GM car again. They are criminal.
PhineasRhyne Four years too late
Amazing how things are somewhat easily moving forward now that Trump has been acknowledged as the LOSER of the election.
Cali has no clean air tho...
Dartagnan_Llore They tried it.
ReignOfApril Of course they do
devindthorpe This is correct. California should be allowed to mess up their economy and the President should not stand in their way.
And so it begins
ReignOfApril I thought the picture said “gender motors” and was intrigued.
Yeah? Well f**k you for backing it in the first place. 🖕
Chicken!
Buy gas burbs or diesel pickups and roll smoke in the left coast
AWESOME
quite late in the game.... GM has a lot of ground to make up...
GM all of a sudden magically found a heart and concern for the environment now that trump is done and Biden will be president in less than two months. Give me a fucking break.
gm should buy more hydrogen
Why were they supporting the Trump administration in this lawsuit in the first place?
Too little, too late
That’s a relief -
Take a hike Mary.
Better late than never.
The good news is Donnie still plans a resurgence of carbon paper. Ivanka dumped Xerox stock.
Was never gonna buy a GM car anyways. Lol
Assholes
Fuck GM and their political posturing. We bail them out, only for them to fight tooth and nail in an effort to poison Americans. ALL of these major companies should be working their asses off to transition to a greener planet, after the TRILLIONS they've made, historically.
Electric is the futures. You hicks will no longer be able to “roll coal”
So Trump losing the election has nothing to do with them changing their support, pathetic.
Good, but LONG overdue. GM shouldn't have supported Trump Admin's efforts to begin with. mtbarra
Lmao. The tides are finally turning (albeit weeks late and in a rather craven 'rats deserting a sinking ship' way), and we're finally seeing the lightbulb go off. Trump lost. Biden is President-elect. I'm happy to see this kind of thing, but it should have happened far sooner.
Solid move if they ever want to sell another vehicle to people who care about the environment.
Is this why the Admin is enforcing the GM airbag recall?
I could say a million bad things about GM and their motives but now is not the time to throw stones. The coral reefs are dying and the earth is heating up. We need every ICE car off the road YESTERDAY! Please help Tesla change the world!
So will wealthy just not be able to buy their lambos and Bugatti’s anymore?
Transparent... GM
karenh7463 The fact GM was on the Trumptrain until now is shameful. We didn’t spend decades along with CARB putting SCIENCE based GHG standards in place for nada-now JoeBiden needs to replace the DOT obstructionist who lied to support the rollback
I'm not surprised. GM hasn't made a good car since they murdered the Fiero and GNX in 1988. Instead of crippling their own cars so they can sell Corvettes, they are crippling everyone else's cars so they can sell their new crapboxes.
They should have taken this stance even with Trump in charge.
mtbarra by the way, genius, did you happen to see that CA cannot supply itself with enough electricity to keep the lights on?
Good move GeneralMotors if you ever want me to even consider buying another GM car or truck. We can't keep burning fossil fuel, and you were early in EV. I still think hydrogen fuel cell would be my pick if there are more filling stations. Let's see some American innovation.
Of course follow the money .. they are not going down with the ship.
GM is FAILING. I’m available for hire - I’d revamp everything and put us on the right path mtbarra
B y E !
mtbarra fairly easy to go buy a ford.
BYE
Is it a coincidence that they announce this on the same day the GSA finally got off their asses and ascertained Biden's election?
Why is this news? GM acknowledges it has no chance to get this done in CA under President Biden, bows out of lawsuit. Duh
Hypocrites... Change like the weather according to the administration... I won't buy anything they make...
Good done with GM!
Why because Trump lost
GM is just a horrible corporate polluter who would happily melt Antarctica & Greenland for a few extra bucks. Soon GM will be bankrupt and Tesla will buy them for pocket change
Same day they lost a safety appeal concerning a 7 million vehicle recall. Good PR timing.
GM is trash. Any person or company purposely aligned with impeached, racist Trump is pure trash.
Such bravery and courage... /s
got to love that the Unions are pulling the strings. California has some of the worst standards of living, the highest poverty rates, highest drug abuse rates, and highest pollution rates but hey let California do what they want. Hoping mother nature will split that state in half
They are just good stewards of the climate and the community. The evil Trump tried to make them produce cars and jobs here in the US. They can now quickly get all production going in Mexico again. This will greatly aid in finally eliminating the last middle class on earth. Amen
As Trump said he doesn’t like “losers” so he should be happy Great American companies like this don’t support losers like Trump.
That’s because they’re expecting a HUGE amount of money from the Biden administration.
Great timing! Way to stand up for your principles when it's convenient.
NancySinatra LOVE this! Grazie Mary Barra!!
GM read the room quick. Lol
So, after a Biden win, GM flipped after giving full support to one of the most environmentally destructive administration’s in history! I will never ever buy a GM car! You made that bed! I will continue to support companies who stood up to the trump administration! FU GM!
The door has not yet kicked him on the way out and CEOs are bailing.
TahmohPenikett Traitor
We will remember.....
Has a day gone by since the election that Trump hasn't lost and looked like a fool doing it?
Part of the reason so many people are fleeing California. Government is unrealistic. They can’t even supply enough electricity to homes, but they’re going to control your car now too?
Hypocrites
That famous brunch liberalism, glad to see them back at the table
GM was talking as if there was an option to stay isolated. World is moving towards more fuel efficient vehicles and demand for cleaner technology vehicles is just going to keep increasing. Good for environment and USA. 🔌🔋🌎♻️
Another win for America and our children's future on earth.
Flipping sides cause trump is done 🤣
Abandoning a burning ship. Good thing they came to their senses.
Things are already improving
I am buying more stocks in EVs ElectricVehicles
They should not have support Trump in the first place. They are way too late on the electric race and are trying so hard to compensate. Another reason I do not drive a GM
** Trump, GOP and Melania stealing from the American taxpayers. This is all a money making scheme, they filed a lawsuit proving this point. Trump is a scam artist, he was never working for the American people he was stealing our money. USA
The planet's at risk. That lawsuit was a joke.
Surprise, surprise!!!! General Motors will live to regret that and their support of Biden. It actually shows their true colors. It's just one of the reasons why I don't buy any General Motors vehicles.
So they will basically go along with whatever the current administration is doing.
Adapt or become irrelevant
Talk about jumping bandwagons. If Trump was to get back into office they’d be right there on his side.
Moving forward!! To the future!!!
What the choice do they have now that that boob Biden is in
WOW! Such heroes! Showing such leadership!! /sarcasm
So they only doing it to protect their interests and not because Trump is a bad President, Fcuk all these corporations
Isn't it always about money? They know where this is all headed and it's not a future of gas-guzzling vehicles of the past.
Yay!!!
GM headed to the nearest band wagon.
matthaig1 Trump has soooo much losing...........
Sure they can produce electric cars. What happens when there’s no juice to charge them 🧐
GM should have never supported an anti-climate policy to begin with.
hey Trump NO one wants to be associated with a LOSER realDonaldTrump
FO GM any company that EVER aligned themselves w/Trump will be forever tainted by that.
👏
Thank you forward thinking corporations....
...So. They drop support for Trump...AFTER he loses the election. Gee. What a world-changing take.
GM has a backbone now that Trump (((finish sentence here)))
Same company that scrapped the electric cars they had in the late 80’s early 90’s. The same company that held patents on electric motors & the cells to power them since who knows when? That General Motors ?
GM should never have fought California over this. We are trying to save the planet and some how that’s wrong? Not to mention, the Obama administration saved your assess and this is how you repay them?
Big win for BidenAdministration
I'm not surprised. Like grasshopper the spring ti green field, eat it up until it.turm brown. No conscience at all just money move.
Smh suddenly when the realization that Biden has won they switch . So PR. Mary has been a horrible CEO for GM and needs to be fired . She is running that company into the ground
This is what you call a dick ridin ho
European countries laws are far tougher on this.All politicians of every political persuasion are behind the drive for electric & renewable energy.Some countries are banning the sale of new petrol & diesel cars from 2030. They're already setting up electric charge infrastructure
Seems like a move to have favorable treatment from the Biden admin, especially if the new admin gives more funds for EVs. I wonder if the lawsuit has gone anywhere as well, probably not...
Late but better if they didn't
matthaig1 Now that the pathetic ass lost? What a joke. Eff off, GM.
Look at GM doing the right thing for our planet. ATimeForHeroes
aHEMandias The winds, they are a-changing... PR department knows the fight's lost anywho.
BroknHeadphones Oh my. GeneWeen
Very convenient they announce this the same day They have to RECALL 7 MILLION CARS for DANGEROUS airbag issues But yea F Trump right?
Ooo-boy! All them Trump sticker hillbob Chevy boys be selling their Silverados cheap!

And where will they be built? Hm?
😎
This was inevitable. And GM never altered its plans for one second based on the Trump efforts. Because world competition. Meanwhile the UK is banning new internal combustion-only cars in 2030, the EU likely to follow. The Kochs, Murdochs and Exxon lose.
Car manufacturers r currenlty tooled 4 2023 engines & r designing 4 2024 To pull out old schematics & completely replace massive amts of machinery 2 build old engines that ppl won't buy 1 cuz they like fuel economy & 2 cuz all that rebuild will make cars more expensive is stupid
Welcome to the Future!! No more going backwards, just forward!
How very fucking brave of them. Fuck GM

Screw GM. Opportunists. They'd have followed Trump into the abyss.
I love how this is trending. Feeding all the libs what they want to hear. When you think of pollution, Trump aint your problem. Its Chy-na
I won't buy GM cars anyway. Plus they have no foresight or ethicical standards.
I bet! Better get in the good graces of the new administration! Don’t wanna get another public a$$ whooping like back in 2009!

They saw the next administration offering $$$$$$$$$$$ in free gov money. Thats the only reason. Take the gov money away and they couldn't care less.
Damn. Biden flipped GM too?! I guess Ford will now be the Trumpanzee pickup truck (aka MAGA mobile) of choice... until further notice...
Barra is another coward who couldn’t stand up to Trump but now has balls because he’s on the way out
TRUMPISM IS DYING
kgrandia GM is free to build whatever car they want to. If they want to adhere to a more strict standard nothing is stopping them
General Motors can see the writing on the wall. This gamble won’t succeed with the Special Envoy to the President on Climate. JohnKerry is going to lead the change and the world can’t wait! The Patriots are back at work 🌎 🇺🇸 JoeBiden & KamalaHarris are being the change!🥰
your move Toyota
Time to buy stock in GM’s eco friendly line. They are ready to drop an electric vehicle on us that will likely steal the show. They played the Trump game until he lost. Now they are ready to play nicely with a new agenda.
Which is just another way of saying: FuckDonaldTrump
GM finally grew some balls against Trump, but it's a little late for that.
Sure, now that Trump’s a lame duck, GM sees the error in their ways. They should pay a price for their frivolous lawsuit.
mtbarra is a flip-flopper. Queen Mary also put thousands out of work in Lordstown Maybe now she will stop building cars in MEXICO and having them sold in the US. MadeInAmericaByAMERICANS
Boycott GM
If it wasnt for CA, we'd all be driving 8cyl diesels and getting 10 MPG.

'The wheels of the TrumpBus come off, come off.. come off, come off...' 🤣😂
TRANSLATION: General Motors, afraid of losing government contracts if they keep supporting the anti-clean-air position of the guy who lost, suddenly pretend to give a shit about the environment.
Mary Barra and GM, profiles in courage? I think not, losers.
Joe Biden...
Sold my stock
Thanks for selling us out GM
Too late. We are watching
ClaraJeffery The fat lady is starting to sing for Trump.
MOJOCHEFJEFF How utterly wonderful of GM. Idiots.
Thank you GM and Mary Barra!
Wow. What fake fucking asses. They are trying to jump off the sinking ship.
Well that's right nice of them...I have already decided I cannot support this comapny as they refuse to help us fight climate change..they're too selfish.
Muh female leadership
Lmao man got how many days left?😭 Real brave move
RonaldKlain They are only doing this because Trump lost. GM, I'm not impressed by you.
GM knows Trump lost.
morgfair Say Hey - Bye, Bye!
This has nothing to do with the election, GM still supports Trump overall. Don't get it twisted at 🇺🇸💯
Too late GM can suck it
Better late than never.
bellablueyes1 Wow - a moment of eco-clarity. Way to go, GM!
Well yeah now that he's on his way in out.
Good! Stand on your own two feet. Just be ready as his base threatens to never buy general motor vehicles again. Now they are only stuck with GOYA food products
SherryBannon4 Good.
DJSnM ResistCalifornia
👏👏👏👏👏
Just in time for bailouts
A pay off?
RonaldKlain GM read the room. People like clean air, regardless of politics. And a fight with the new Administration wouldn’t make GM look particularly good.
GM lost my business 4 years ago
Oh, now that he's not going to be president anymore, all of a sudden you don't support him. SMH🙄
So basically, they are begging for tens of billions in public money. Enough! That money would be much better spent and create more jobs if it was invested in electric high speed rail, transit and bus service. Let GM become an electric rail or bus provider if they want and can.
Why do people keep trying to get President Trump to quit? What are they scared of except the full answer?
GM said its decision to cut nearly 14,000 jobs and idle five plants in North America will save $2 billion to $2.5 billion in 2019. Backlash came from politicians and the public over the job cuts and its decision to build certain vehicles, the Chevrolet Blazer SUV, in Mexico
Sweet
Climate change/global warming ppl are such hypocrites.. Using more electricity than most ppl while telling everyone else how evil they are. Just like socialists.. You want other ppl to pay for everything while you hoard $ of your own. If you truly believe it, live it.
DemocratKansas So, basically GM is saying that Trump lost the election?
The rats are jumping ship. GM are not the good guys here... NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO!!!!
One for the climate. Better late than never 🌱
kgrandia Better late than never, I suppose.
they were having trouble getting there cars to run on CLEANCOAL
RonaldKlain Great now we have private sector playing politics.
Lol car companies already cucking for the liberal elite
Good but GM should have taken the high road initially if they stayed true to their sustainability mission rather than take the politically convenient road. Mary is urging other automakers to do what most were already doing. GM will be playing catch up here.
🖕GM why were you on the Trump train in the first place?
Too late gm are traitors and also uses jonesday trumps lawyers.
Really? Now that he lost you suddenly see the light, GM?
Hard choice, considering 45 won’t be in office much longer. Better late than never.
m_hostage Guess the rats are beginning to notice that the ship is sinking.
Wouldn’t it benefit motor companies to force ppl to get rid of their old vehicles & have to buy one of their newer models? Sounds like a smart decision to me, of course they’d support California in this.. 🤷♂️
They obviously want another Obama like bailout
Of course they did. He lost the election lol
Good
I'm happy they're dropping the shit, but let's be honest that this was about opportunism. They saw a new administration is coming in and the writing on the wall changed.
So bold, three weeks after the election! 🙄
morgfair Mary Barra also announced that GM was moving to an all-electric platform. A new lithium-ion battery plant is now under construction in Lordstown, Ohio and will create 1,100 new jobs.
👏
Beijing pays New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and not to forget the LA Times among others for showing their commitment to further China’s [pro] presence in The United States. See why Big Tech & MSM work w/foreign govts to sway our American opinion? Is AP another one
PR move for GM.
Sky_Lee_1 Let's keep hitting that mute button on realDonaldTrump !
GM can't survive without government hand-outs. So who needs another poorly-run, ignorant company? They'll be out of business under JoeBiden, so Goodbye Morons!
They are trying to cover their own ass. They didn’t have a change of leader ship and the new CEO said “no that’s fucked up” the same CEO went “fuck we can’t get away with it. Let’s switch sides and hope they forget.”
Way to stand for something, GM. You're happy to attack fuel economy standards when a Republican is in the White House, but then act like you weren't part of the problem as soon as Democrats are back in power? I'll remember that when buying my next vehicle.
I have been a Chevy owner for over 30 years. Got a Tesla 2 years ago and I'll never buy another ICE. Looking forward to replacing my Silverado with a Cybertruck in a couple years. 5 minutes ago the Chevy dealer tried to overcharge me for an inspection. Last time I use them.
Day late, dollar short.
We need to do everything possible to protect what is left of the natural environment.
What a profile in courage she is.
Chevy. Are you saying Fuck You, NASCAR?
GOOD, they are already having Brown outs Black outs LOL
Bailing after Trump lost is just a PR stunt.
BOYCOTT GM! They accepted billions in American taxpayer money and are refusing to support our great president!
GM hasn’t made a decent vehicle is 15 years, who gives a fuck.
So brave
GM should make sailboats considering how they go any way the wind blows.
cause they care now
Weird how Biden gets elected and now opportunistic GM decided to be climate conscious. Hypocrites.
Awesome 👍
Trump no longer has something they can offer GM-they want to be friends with the people who will be in power for the next 4 yrs. ---take away- don't buy anything from GM-(unless they develop a worthwhile electric car)
Wait a minute. Why was GM supporting that in first place? 🤔
GM flips to Ford's side*
columlynch No GM ride for 'the loser'!
Because they know that California is a huge market and they want to rake in on the profits.
Sanity returns, bit by bit by bit by bit, .......
Yeah sure, now that he lost.
I don't get it
All the Libs on here calling for all electric vehicles is hilarious. Some is actually need 3/4- 1 ton diesel pickups on our farms and ranches a d we delete the emissions so we don’t have to worry about them starting a range fire and constantly being in the shop.
How much money would a car manufacturer get from the government for 'research?'
They are failing anyway
Look at that people are learning to swim now lol
So now they want to care about the environment bc the incoming admin is gonna kick their arses over it.
This does not in fact effect my opinion on where we should put the guillotine in front of their corporate headquarters. *Switching from the Losing Side Does Not Undo Everything You've Been Doing So Far*
Only after trump lost great timing
So much for Art of the Deal... LoserInChief realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump IvankaTrump GOPChairwoman KellyannePolls
Great, now tell him to gtfo the white house
These people supported this deranged psychopath as long as their interests were protected. All of a sudden now they are growing a concsience with their ' saving my ass moves'.
That's because it's no longer important to them as the make the LEAP to EV. $NIO
🤔Hmmm🤣
Oh, now they care?
Ricka168 So , expedient now that DDT is on the way out
Fuck off GM...we see you 👀
THEY REALIZE THE MARKET IS IN CLEAN ENERGY. JESUS CHRIST. THIS ISNT DIFFICULT. FUCK, REPUBLICANS IN 1920 WOULDVE TRIED TI SHUT DOWN FORD BECAUSE ITLL “HURT THE HORSE INDUSTRY.”
That rustling you hear is the sounds of thousands of Trump banners being yanked from the beds of GM pick-ups across the nation.
the rats are jumping ship
When you've lost GM... And fuck them just btw
Lmfaooooo
realDonaldTrump about to tweet how he never supported GM and they are a bad company in 3, 2, 1....
The rats are jumping from the ship
Only because Biden won.
Of course not after there were forced to recall a ton of vehicles today to replace air bags
Lol GM you’re so transparent. That they were on board with this up until now is the only thing that matters. Cadillacs fuckin suck now anyway.
Let’s go state’s rights!
But will it drastically lower pollution?
Too little, too late.
Trump loses every day
Well fk them for even starting.
I'm beyond tired of people waiting until the 11th hour to do the right thing and wanting praise for it.
GM doesn’t decide who’s president! does!!!!
Lol, little late to jump ship. Cowards.
Neat
Womp. Womp. Bet he tweets Gm before 5 pm.
Finally GM does the right thing. They know after January 20th this lawsuit is dead in the water. Suing over those fuel economy standards was stupid to begin with. I thought conservatives cared about states rights?
Trying to save face. And just look at all the likes the post has gotten.
And they were for it before, why?
Transactional allegiances. How quaint.
LOL! GM is certainly not flipping sides because they suddenly got environmentally conscious. They can read the handwriting on the wall. Hope the Biden Administration doubles down on restoring previous clean air standards and moving forward with stricter new ones.
California's expectation is onerous. They should not be allowed to steer their own national policy in this regard, or in other areas such as internet regulation.
realDonaldTrump Ready, set, concede. LoserInChief
🙏
They should have stood up against it at the very start. They knew then it was wrong but they obeyed anyway. So they bend to whatever breeze blows?
GM Welcome to the Future.
Surprising they didn’t wait until the last minute... the morning of Jan 20.
Two thousand and late.
amazing what needing a $1.5 billion bailout, again - this time, for faulty airbags - will do to your mindset.
So much winning. realDonaldTrump is a loser in so many ways.
You rock Mary.❤
Thank you GM!
Don’t buy anything GM
Rank opportunists
Daniel 7; 13 In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, (Jesus) coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days (Joe) and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power.
Finally, GM gets it right! Now, please get up to speed on releasing a full EV line!
🙄
Brave.
Great but I’ll still never buy a GM. Say hi to the dust bin
amazing what needing a $1.5 billion bailout again - thia time, for faulty airbags - will do to your mindset.
Haha! Get on board with progress or you're going down.
So darn brave of GM. They waited until Trump's days as POTUS were limited then proudly bowed down to Biden's climate agenda. I didn't see GM having any strength of character prior to the election. Swamp
Moving on
Another reason not to buy GM they were supporting Trump to stop California's right to set its own clan-air Standards. Once you drive a rice grinder you never drive an American made auto again.
It's about time. Cali wins.
Good GM when you need a bailout AGAIN, after you have to pay $BILLIONS to recall all of your defective vehicles with the bad airbags, you can GFY!!!!! LET YOU ROT AND FAIL!
A win for State's rights. I don't agree with California's standard of having its own blend or that the blend is seasonal. Leads to higher prices. But I support their right to set the standard.
This was always a misguided effort that was only joined in an attempt to obtain favors from trump. California and the northeastern states have always dictated emissions standards, and if those aren’t met they won’t meet European standards either.
Thank you GM!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In other news, California just said by 2025 you must have solar power on your roof as well as a turbine per 1/4 acre.
They'd rather suck the government teat than stand up to California Democrats.
Pretty lame considering he's a lame duck. Wow, the optics!
In other wards, we will do as California says.
They are doing this because of $$ not because they care our planet is dying.
boycottgeneralmotors
MIA lat 4 years though.
we dont forget:
realDonaldTrump Tick Tock Tick Tock
Whats next? Kaepernick gets hired? 😂😂😂
On the Trump ship
That's a heck of a headline you got there
Because they know Trump’s legal fight ends January 20th, not because they actually have morals.
Indeed, classic lame duck move lol
Better late then never
🤔
What a difference an election makes eh?
Better late than never?
This is looking like the end of HarryPotter when everyone who'd been placed under the Imperius Curse by Voldemort snapped out of it once he was dead. Except, of course, all these folks went along with DJT willingly.
Hmmm,, something is in the wind.. Thank you GM we love our Bolt!
Look what trump did to Harley Davidson and Goodyear. I don’t blame them for kissing his ass when he was in power and not surprised they flipped as soon as he lost it.
Everybody hates Donald.
Something something election consequences something.
Great, TRump supporters are going to buy Fords only now, which will be good for economy because all the parts suppliers and will have to triple their staff just to keep up with demand.
Another profile in courage.
good luck
He's gone. Time to suck up to the Commander in chief....😂
I’m surprised that someone as PR savvy as realDonaldTrump doesn’t see that the optics are changing for him as more Republicans/Conservatives & biz leaders say it’s time to move on. This tarnishes him post-White House in whatever he does next. Timing is everything. Election2020
So brave.
😂🤣
👏👏👏👏👏
This is actually great news. Thank you, GM !!
Funny how no one grows a spine until Trump is on his way out.
