Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a lot of Twitter followers. 1, 128,869 to be exact.
On Thursday, Musk sent a link on Twitter to a Tesla blog entry that urges people to ask Michigan Governor Rick Snyder not to sign a bill that requires cars to be sold through franchised dealerships.
Tesla wants to sell its cars directly, in company-owned stores.
So, has the Governor's office gotten many calls? "Only about 900,000," quipped a spokesman.
The spokesman also says the Governor has "a bunch" of questions about the bill and is doing due diligence.
The bill has to be signed by October 21st if it's to become law.
