Trump showcases Tesla vehicles at White House lawn

President Trump transformed the White House South Lawn into a Tesla showroom, showcasing five vehicles delivered by Elon Musk. Trump expressed support for Musk and the company, stating he plans to buy a Tesla, particularly admiring the Cybertruck. This event marks a shift from Trump's previous criticism of electric vehicles. He publicly endorsed Tesla, a rare move for a sitting president, while Musk aims to double vehicle output in the U.S. amid ongoing backlash against his political involvement. Trump's purchase comes as Tesla faces stock declines and protests. The White House has not commented on the ethical implications of this endorsement, which contrasts with past warnings given to officials promoting personal products.
