Ex-Vice President Kamala Harris just admitted to a "big mistake" that was made by the administration of former President Joe Biden. 

According to the Daily Caller, Harris said that the mistake was not getting Elon Musk involved in the 2021 electric-vehicle summit.

No doubt there were many bigger mistakes, but this is one that, apparently, she is now willing to admit to.

Biden and Harris' "big mistake"

Harris made the admission during a live interview at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, D.C.

There, she said:

I write in the book that I thought it was a big mistake to not invite Elon Musk when we did a big EV event. I mean, here he is, the major American manufacturer of extraordinary innovation in this space — well, and in space — and the fact that he was not invite — on merit, a president of the United States, I believe, has to put aside political loyalties when they get in the way of what is actually… and should be a source of pride for us as Americans that we’re creating that technology and innovation.

The book she is referring to is "107 Days," which is an account of her failed presidential run.

Harris added:

So I thought that was a mistake. And I don’t know Elon Musk, but I have to assume that that was something that hit him hard and had an impact on his perspective.

Musk, at the time of this writing, has not responded to the remarks from Harris.

Harris is back in the spotlight - sort of

Harris has been grabbing a lot of news headlines in recent weeks, thanks to her book tour.

As usual with Harris, there have not been that many bright spots. There, however, has been plenty of bad publicity.

Fox News, for example, recently reported:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ book tour stop in Chicago was disrupted multiple times Saturday afternoon, as security removed several protesters during a tense event promoting her new memoir, "107 Days." As Harris discussed her book with journalist Michele Norris, who was moderating the event, at least one protester began shouting from the audience, prompting a chorus of "get her out" from attendees. Security quickly escorted the woman from the venue.

There is little doubt that, with this tour, Harris is trying to revive her political career.

There, however, are no signs, currently, that she is going to be successful in doing so.
