US President Donald Trump has received a Tesla advertisement on the White House lawn along with Ceo Elon Musk. He also mistakenly called the boycott against the “illegal” electric vehicle company.
On Monday evening, Trump announced that he would buy a new Tesla the next day “as a faith show” in his narrow musk ally, responding to the company’s stock prices. On Tuesday morning, Tesla parked five of her vehicles in front of the White House to create a personal exhibition hall for the president.

“I have a lot of information [about Tesla’s cars]Including the price, “Trump said, using several notes of notes he said he was given to Tesla’s offers.” I want to make a good deal here. ”
Despite this, Trump stated that he would pay the full price for his new car. He finally chose a red Tesla S -Model slab, which is drawn for about $ 90,000 after Musk said it was the model he himself directed.

Trump further addressed the latest protests that have taken place outside the Tesla exhibition room across the US, some of which have resulted in vandalism and damage to property, saying it will label violence against traders such as “domestic terrorism”.
“They are hurting a large US company,” Trump said, calling such protesters “waste”. “Those people will go through a big problem when we catch them … You do it in Tesla and you do it for every company, we will catch you and you will go through hell.”

“At the time I knew him, he never asked me for a favor,” Trump claimed.
This is a strict contrast to Trump’s previous statements about Musk in 2022, when he called the billionaire a “bull artist” and claimed that he sought help “in all his many subsidized projects, whether they are not driving enough time, colliding cars, or missiles up to nowhere.
“I could have said,” Knee and beg and beg, “and he would have done it,” Trump posted in social truth at the time, stating that Musk would be “worthless” without government subsidies.

There seems to be far less hostility between Musk and Trump now, despite the latter’s history as a vocal destroyer of electric vehicles. Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Trump repeated his inaccurate claim that he “ended electric [vehicle] The mandate, “and praised Musk for not calling him to complain about him.
SH.BA has never had any law that forces drivers to pass into electric cars. However, she had incentives to encourage adoption, which is what Trump eliminated. Trump also stopped $ 3 billion in funds for a US electric car loading network at the beginning of last month.
Trump Tesla’s new accused will not be his problem. Trump will not actually drive the car itself, as US presidents are not allowed to travel on public roads for security reasons. Instead, the president stated that he would leave Tesla in the White House for his staff to use.

Tesla had the worst day of trading since September 2020 on Monday, its shares dropped over 15 percent to close at $ 222.15. In response, Trump took on his social media platform that night that night to declare his support for Musk, as well as his intention to buy a Tesla.
“[T]That left -left radical, as they often do, are trying to boycott illegally and colus Tesla, one of the great motorists in the world and Elon’s ‘baby’, in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for, “Trump claimed for social truth.
It is not illegal in the US for consumers to boycott companies. While boycotts can be illegal if a group of competitors collectively agree not to do business with a company, such restrictions do not apply to individuals. Under US law, people are allowed to choose whether to patronize a business and may decide not to do so as an act of protest. This is protected by the first right to change for free speech.
Tuesday saw Tesla’s shares recover almost four percent after Monday’s fall, however the overall trend of the company’s stock price continues to coille. Although Tesla enjoyed an increase after Trump’s election victory, her shares have continued to fall since inauguration and deleted all those profits.
Tesla’s profits dropped by 70 percent in Q4 2024 and its sales have fallen across the globe. Even Teslas price used is falling while drivers are reported to refuse cars due to their association with Musk. Even so, Musk stated Tuesday that Tesla intends to double its production in the US within the next two years.
