President Donald Trump has purchased a new Tesla Model S in support of Elon Musk.
Musk, alongside the President, showed off a new red Model S in front of reporters. When asked if he was going to buy or lease, Trump said he was going to buy.
“I’m going to buy because number one, it’s a great product — as good as it gets — and number two, because this man has devoted his energy and his life to doing this and I think he has been treated very unfairly by a small group of people. I want people to know that you can’t be penalized for being a patriot—and he’s a great patriot.”
Lately, Tesla dealerships have been vandalized and also been the source of protests against Musk and his efforts leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Trump also said he is not allowed to drive, but will let guests and staff drive the Tesla Model S.
Musk also said today, “In support of the policies of President @realDonaldTrump and to demonstrate our confidence in the future of the United States, @Tesla commits to doubling vehicle production in the US within 2 years!”.
First, President Joe Biden snubbed Tesla at its EV summit. One year later, the entire Tesla family is on display at the White House. Go figure!
