Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced he will buy a Tesla to show support for Elon Musk, following protests against the Tesla CEO. On Truth Social, Trump condemned “radical leftist lunatics” boycotting Tesla, calling Musk a “great American” and praising his contributions. Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has faced backlash over federal job cuts. Protests outside Tesla dealerships in Portland and New York led to multiple arrests. Musk thanked Trump for his support.
