Trump defends Musk amid global protests and vandalism
Donald Trump defended Elon Musk on Tuesday, stating that Musk has been "treated very unfairly." Trump praised Tesla vehicles while announcing his intention to buy one, amid growing criticism and vandalism targeting Tesla facilities and cars. Musk, who attended the event with his son, has faced backlash for his role in the federal government. Critics have expressed concern over his focus on government duties, which some believe detracts from his responsibilities at Tesla and SpaceX. Protests against Musk have escalated, with demonstrations occurring at over 50 Tesla dealerships worldwide. Trump suggested labeling those who vandalize Tesla vehicles as "domestic terrorists" and vowed to take action against them.
