Donald Trump — as soon as a fierce critic of electrical autos — claimed in a late-night Fact Social put up on Monday that he’s going to purchase a brand-new Tesla on Tuesday morning.
It is going to be a present of solidarity with high ally Elon Musk, who owns the electrical car producer, the president stated.
Tesla’s inventory value has plunged, gross sales have fallen, and its shops and autos have been attacked amid rising anger over billionaire Musk’s function within the chaotic gutting of federal spending and jobs through the so-called Division of Authorities Effectivity since Trump’s return to the White Home.
Musk is “‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” claimed Trump.
“But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for,” he added.
Trump didn’t clarify precisely how not shopping for Teslas is against the law.
“They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out?” Trump requested, utilizing a bizarre flip of phrase to boast about his slender election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

“In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American,” the president promised. “Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”
Additionally on Monday night time, Fox Information’ Sean Hannity — one other high ally of Trump — revealed he’d “picked out” a mannequin of Tesla to purchase after test-driving one owned by a buddy. “Maybe it’s just a gesture on my part,” the anchor admitted.
