President Donald Trump posed for photos next to a line of Tesla vehicles in front of the White House Tuesday after saying earlier on social media he would buy one as a “show of confidence and support for Elon Musk.”
“Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” Trump said on Truth Social early Tuesday morning. “I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday afternoon that the Tesla would be used at the White House and said that Musk has been treated “unfairly.”
“I think he’s been treated very unfairly by a very small group of people, and I just want people to know that he can’t be penalized for being a patriot,” Trump told media.
