Clarkson makes stabs at every country, every car maker and every person involved in it regardless of nation. Americans just tend to get riled up over it.
I've always taken Clarkson's extra ribbing on American cars as jokes. It seems like Musk's business sense is getting in the way of his sense of humor. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
