Summary
Elon Musk gave Donald Trump a scripted sales pitch during a White House event where Trump inspected Teslas.
Photographers captured Trump holding notes with phrases like “SAFEST car” and “affordable.” The stunt followed a 15% drop in Tesla’s stock, linked to backlash over Musk’s involvement in DOGE.
Trump defended Musk on Truth Social, blaming the decline on a “Radical Left” boycott.
Meanwhile, Musk’s other ventures, including X and SpaceX, are struggling with outages and test failures.
It’s got me worried why. Yeah, Musk pretty much bankrolled his campaign, but is that really all takes to make a lapdog out of Trump? The man who has shown zero loyalty to anyone but himself? I guess he seems pretty loyal to Russia, but that’s a different story.
All it takes did include him becoming richer and a “celebrity” that likely can’t be prosecuted for any of his crimes for the rest of his life.
Payback all his family loans to Russian Oligarchs , done. I mean not long ago he couldn’t find financers to pay his legal bills because all his properties had money owed on them. His own son had said they didn’t need U.S. banks because their funding came from Russia. Cutting off enforcement of sanctions on Russian Oligarchs likely got him some of what he needed to pay off those debts, while asking Congress to get rid of them will likely clear more.
