'I’ll buy Tesla to show support for Musk' - Trump

President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump  of the United States said he would buy a brand new Tesla to show support for his top campaign donor and advisor, Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Trump made this disclosure in a post on his Truth Social platform just on Tuesday.

“To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!,”

“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.

“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.

“Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” Trump said.

Responding on his X platform, Musk, the world’s richest person, expressed gratitude to Trump.

Trump, since his second return to the White House in January, has empowered Musk to slash federal government spending and agencies’ workforces as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.

However, DOGE’s cost-cutting campaign has faced increasing resistance, including protests, court rulings and some pressure from lawmakers.

While Musk enjoys Trump’s confidence, polling shows the tech billionaire is deeply unpopular among ordinary Americans, and his cuts to government budgets have sparked angry confrontations between Republicans and their constituents at town halls.
