US President Donald Trump sought to boost plummeting Tesla share prices on Tuesday by briefly turning the White House into a showroom, announcing he was buying one of the electric cars made by close advisor Elon Musk and threatening anti-Musk protesters with “hell”.
The unprecedented product endorsement by a sitting president came after Tesla shares cratered amid market fears spurred by Trump’s tariffs and backlash to Musk’s controversial role in slashing the US government through DOGE. [But DOGE’s cost-cutting has hit increasing resistance, including protests, court rulings and some pressure from lawmakers].
“I said, ‘you know, Elon, I don’t like what’s happening to you, and Tesla’s a great company’”, Trump told reporters while he stood alongside Musk, his top donor, in front of a red Tesla on the South Portico of the White House.
“He has never asked me for a thing, and he’s built this great company, and he shouldn’t be penalized because he’s a patriot”, Trump continued.
Elon Musk knew Trump is the best person to bet on!
