Trump buys Tesla, won't drive it for security reasons
Donald Trump has purchased a red Tesla to support Elon Musk's company amid rising protests and vandalism against Tesla. Trump stated he would not drive the car himself, as US presidents and vice presidents are prohibited from driving for security reasons. During a video, Trump expressed admiration for the Tesla's features while Musk demonstrated the vehicle. Trump plans to keep the Tesla at the White House for staff use, hoping it will boost Tesla's sales amid declining demand. The restriction on presidents driving is enforced by the Secret Service for security purposes. While they cannot drive on public roads, they may operate vehicles on private property after leaving office.
