Trump did not call Tesla "modern-day Isaac Neutron."
A video circulating on Instagram claims that former President Donald Trump called Nikola Tesla a "modern-day Isaac Neutron." This claim is false. There is no evidence that Trump made this statement. Fact-checking organizations, including Lead Stories and Snopes, have determined that the audio in the video is likely generated by artificial intelligence (AI). An expert in AI confirmed that the sound lacks the natural speech patterns typical of Trump. The video has gained popularity, receiving over 200,000 likes, but it mistakenly refers to Isaac Newton using the incorrect name "Isaac Neutron." Check Your Fact found no reference to this supposed statement on Trump's social media accounts or the White House's website. The origin of the video is also questionable, as it came from a satirical TikTok account. Overall, the claim about Trump and Tesla is not accurate, and expert analysis suggests the video is manipulated.
