President Donald Trump on Tuesday converted the South Lawn of the White House into a temporary Tesla Car Company billionaire CEO, showroom in a specific side for its advisor Elon Musk.
Tesla transported his five vehicles to the White House and parked them on a driveway to personally inspect Trump, when he planned to buy a Tesla to showcase his support for Musk and the recession car company.
With Kasturi next to him, Trump declared vehicles “beautiful” and especially praised the company’s unusually designed cyberchark.
“As soon as I saw it, I said, ‘This is the best design,” Trump said.
Although Trump often attacked electric vehicles during last year’s campaign, he told reporters that he had heard good things from his friends about Teselus. He sat on the driver’s seat of a sedan, in which Kasturi was sitting near him, and said he planned to buy a one.
“What I like is that one, and I want the same color,” he said, pointing to a red model S, the vehicle has been listed on the Tesla website $ 73,490, or $ 88,490 for the $ 73,490, or the all-wheel-drive model S plaid.
He did not take a test drive, but said he could “do another time”.

This is extremely rare for a senior government official due to moral sanctions, to a sitting president alone to clearly support a consumer product. In 2017, when the then Trump Counselor Kelinen Conway asked Americans to buy Ivanka Trump’s clothing line, they received a warning from a government morality office and promised to never re -do it.
By reviewing Teslas publicly before the cameras, Trump ensured that his purchase would get widespread attention. Dan Skavino of the White House Deputy Chief of Staff Livestream the event on Musk -owned social media app, X.
The White House did not immediately respond to the request of comment on the application of morality rules.
Trump said he would pay for the vehicle from investigation.
In its first weeks in the office, Trump has moved away from the faster populist policies and the message of both his first term and their campaigns, instead embrace the interests and agendas of his billionaires backcards. In particular, Musk has inspired the push of the administration to cut thousands of middle class federal jobs, and Americans are seeing their retirement savings tanks as a stock market amid uncertainty on Trump’s policies. Nevertheless it was musk that Trump focused on promoting on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Tesla has faced an extended global backlash for Musk’s growing role in politics, especially for his role in reducing government jobs and recently to promote distance parties including Germany’s AFD. The company’s shares have declined every week since I went to Muscatton, and they fell 15% on Monday before rebounding on Tuesday. Tesla features have faced a wave of both peaceful demonstrations and barbarity, including fire at charging stations.
Asked if his purchase could help Tesla’s stock, Trump said, “I hope it does.”
During the incident, Trump placed a piece of paper with notes about the Tesla features, according to the pictures of the notes published by Getty Image. Notes seem to be something about a sales pitch, including details that Teslas can be purchased $ 299 per month and that all vehicles are “self-driveing”-a reference to a suit of the company’s driver-help facilities, which requires additional cost and still human supervision.

Trump condemned the barbarity and praised the company.
“They are harming a great American company,” he said. Referring to Kasturi, he said: “He has built this great company, and should not be punished as he is a patriot.”
Musk, standing next to Trump, said Tesla has planned double vehicle production in the United States.
Musk is at the center of increasing tension within the government about his role as a White House advisor and his role as the head of Trump’s Government Efficiency Department. The Trump administration is struggling with cases that Musk has overcome its authority under law and constitution, and Trump’s cabinet members have privately expressed disappointment about Musk’s involvement in their agencies.
Musk Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign was a prominent financial supporter, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars and performed individuals on behalf of Trump in Swing State Pennsylvania. Musk also converted X to Trump Pro-Plain Media Platform.
In a post on Truth Social, immediately after midnight on Tuesday morning, Trump was ignored for his reason to buy Tesla.
He wrote, “I am going to buy a new Tesla tomorrow morning, which is in the form of confidence and support for Elon Musk, which is actually a great American.”
It is unclear that, if ever, Trump will have a chance to drive any kind of car until it does so within the White House campus or the same safe area. Presidents are operated around in a custom limosine with special security facilities.
“I haven’t bought a new car in a long time,” said Trump.
