Tesla sales and stock have been crashing, and Tesla dealerships have faced protests and even vandalism.
So to support Musk, Trump said in his Truth Social post that he’d be buying a Tesla.
You’d think that Trump’s closest teammate would be JD Vance, but nope.
Some thought it was funny that Vance seemed to be clearly out of the loop in the whole situation.
One person joked onX(formerly known as Twitter): “Waiting for the Trump branded Sham-WOW!
for washing Tesla’s.
In gold of course.”
Vance is said to be unbothered by Musk’s continued presence at the White House.
We wonder how long that feeling will last as Trump seems to continue to put Musk ahead of Vance.
He’s talked about Teslas not being his thing, and he’s disparaged electric vehicles in general.
The Trump administration has also cut off the power to around 8,000 electric car chargers on federal property.
At a rally in Atlanta in August 2024, Trump said, “I’m for electric cars.
I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly,” viaYouTube.
Musk publicly promoted Trump for president in July 2024.
