“They gave me notes,” Trump said as he participated in a stunt to boost the crisis-hit company of his billionaire buddy.

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.

    Maybe among MAGA, but overall, I think this would accelerate the decline.

    Let’s not forget that most of MAGA stand behind Trump because they can’t afford eggs and they think he’s going to fix it.
    Most of them can’t afford a brand new $50k Silverado, there’s no way they’ll pass a credit check for an $80k Cybertruck.
