The president threw Elon Musk a lifeline with an event, livestreamed on X, where he touted the cars and said he would buy one.

    He did not take a test drive but said he might “another time.”

    Bet Trump can’t drive.

      Accurately they are not allowed to drive. Why you think all president love golf carts. Secret service doesn’t allow them drive. One thing you give up when elected.

        Even if he was allowed, he grew up a spoiled rich brat who had someone drive him everywhere.
        Driving is work, and work is something Trump doesn’t do.

      He’s actually not allowed to. But I bet you’re right, probably can’t either.

    Maybe this means higher resale value for those looking to sell their Teslas.

    The whole thing was a ploy to get die hard trump fans to buy Teslas. 4D chess🧐

    The thing that the Tesla brand had been lacking was the “Trump bump”. But would a personal sales pitch by Donald Trump on the White House lawn be enough, or would Tesla need to produce a limited edition, gold Cybertruck, numbered and personally signed by Donald Trump?

    The one thing that made conservatives suddenly love electric cars is the CEO doing a Nazi salute.

    That would track, since only nazis are buying them these days.
