It was an interview of reporter Adam Lashinsky with CEO of the General Motors Dan Akerson. Reporter asked him a few questions about cooperation and business relationships between GM company and Government of the USA. US government owns now about 35 % of a company so it belongs among the large shareholders. It was caused by a huge debts which GM had in 2009. They have paid back all of their debts and they also sold out more than 62 % of the company to the government and around 23 billion dollars has been returned. Although US Government is a large shareholder, they don´t have any representation in a boardroom and they don´t involve business of GM. It was government´s decision. Dan Akerson met the president Barack Obama for twice since he has become the CEO of GM. Barack Obama visited one of their Detroit area plants with the president of South Korea. Dan thinks, that the president supports the company.
