President Donald Trump on Tuesday used the White House lawn for his very own dog and pony show when he announced he was buying a Tesla in a bizarre bid to boost business for Elon Musk’s company, which saw its stock price plummet this week.
Trump pledged to buy a Tesla, turning the South Lawn into a showroom where he inspected fire different Tesla models and sat in a red car with Musk and posed for photographs, telling reporters that the Tesla CEO has “been treated very unfairly by a very small group of people.”
This performative shopping trip came after Tesla stock dropped 15% on Monday, the worst day on the market for the company in five years, CNBC reports.
In response, Trump took to Truth Social to call out the “Radical Left Lunatics” for trying “to Illegally and collusively boycott Tesla,” calling Tesla Musk’s “baby” and said he planned to “buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk.”
Trump said that he hoped what was clearly a promotional event for the billionaire-owned brand, would boost Tesla’s sales, Politico reports.
While Trump is hoping his political stunt will work in Musk’s favor, the internet has used his social media posts as a way to roast both men mercilessly. People joked that Trump and Musk "might as well just f—k atp” and called them “that annoying couple that won’t stop making out in public.” Other people quipped about clapping when his new Tesla eventually “explodes while trump is in it,” while someone else encouraged Trump to take the Tesla for a spin, writing, “Please drive it, it'll be fun and it's SO safe!!!!"

"Elonius must have been crying to daddy about how mean everyone has been. But yes, go but teslas magats that way you're all easily identifiable in the wild."
"Definitely nothing to do with the massive stock plunge. Certainly not against the hatch act or any conflict of interest provisions"
"Great - just what the world needs - an 80 year man driving an electric truck in the Walmart parking lot."
