Democrats on Tuesday insisted on the purchase of a Red Tesla by President Donald Trump – even though the former President Joe Biden paraded a jeep wrangler at the White House in 2021.
Trump blown the vehicle on the South Lawn of the White House with SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, which is also becoming the head of the newly created Government Efficiency Department (DOGE) in Tesla’s stock. The share price increased after the White House event.
Democrats reduced the move, and the Democratic Congress campaign committee called the Trump administration a “most corrupt administration in American history”.
But Biden also held a similar program at the White House in August 2021, when he fired an electric jeepnger on the White House South Lawn as part of a meeting with top officials of General Motors, Ford and Stelanis.
The incident signed an executive order with Biden, which signs an executive order for zero-furnace vehicles manufactured in the US, which makes half of its vehicle production by the end of the decade.

Musk and Tesla were not invited to Biden’s 2021 electric vehicle program. Musk called the Biden administration in a post on X at that time, saying, “Yes, it seems strange that Tesla was not invited.”
Asked why the White House excluded Tesla, the largest electric vehicle manufacturer in the US, White House press secretary Jane Pisaki suggested that Tesla would receive an invitation for future events.
“Well, we certainly welcome the efforts of the vehicle manufacturers who recognize the ability of an electric vehicle future and support efforts that will help reach the President’s goal, and certainly Tesla is one of the companies,” PSAKKi said in August 2021., “I don’t hope that this is the last time we talk about the steps towards clean cars and electric vehicles, and we look forward to a series of partners in that attempt.”
Meanwhile, according to the Wall Street Journal, Biden’s administration refused to meet with Musk. The journal said in July 2024 that Musk had voted for Biden in 2020 and reached Biden White House after its inauguration, but the White House refused to talk with him.
The journal said that Biden White House hesitantly hesitated to take a musk on the proposal due to concerns that the United Auto Workers (UAVs) would harass the Union, as Tesla is the only non-union automeker in America
PSAKI said that for the electric vehicle incident, it “selected the three biggest employers of the United Auto Workers, so I will make you conclude you.”

Other people criticized Trump for their Tuesday Tesla show. Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said in an X post, “I am sure that everyone is losing their retirement, jobs and health care due to Trump, it was glad to see that the white house turned into a car dealership for the richest man on the planet.”
