Former President Donald Trump has announced he will purchase a Tesla to show support for Elon Musk, as protests against the electric vehicle company escalate across the U.S. Demonstrators have been targeting Tesla showrooms, accusing Musk of political bias and corporate misconduct.
Trump framed his purchase as a stand against what he called an 'illegal boycott' of Musk and his businesses. The announcement comes as Tesla's stock faces volatility amid the controversy.
Critics question whether Trump's move is genuine support or just another headline-grabbing stunt.

Good for Trump—finally, a leader who stands up to the radical left and their ridiculous boycotts. The attacks on Musk and Tesla are just more proof that these woke mobs can't handle anyone who thinks differently than them. Instead of tearing down a successful American company, people should be celebrating innovation and job creation. I'll take a Tesla over some government-subsidized EV junk any day!

Of course Trump would turn this into a political stunt—everything he does is about stirring up his base rather than addressing real issues. The protests against Tesla aren’t some “illegal boycott,” they’re people holding a billionaire accountable for his actions. Musk has been openly platforming far-right figures and pushing dangerous rhetoric, so it’s no surprise folks are calling him out. Instead of standing with workers or consumers, Trump rushes to defend yet another out-of-touch billionaire. This isn’t about free speech or fairness—it’s about the powerful protecting each other. Buying a Tesla won’t change the fact that both Trump and Musk care more about their own egos than the people they claim to represent.
Oh great, two billionaires doing PR stunts for each other while workers and consumers get left in the dust—classic.
Just another billionaire-backed circus act—Musk and Trump pretending to be underdogs while consolidating more power and wealth.
