Trump to buy Tesla, showing support for Musk
Former President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he plans to buy a Tesla to show support for CEO Elon Musk. This comes as Tesla's stock has dropped over 40% this year, including a 15% decline on Monday. Trump criticized protests against Musk and claimed that "radical" Democrats are trying to harm him. He praised Musk's efforts to reduce government spending and workforce as part of his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. Protests at Tesla dealerships have increased, with demonstrators expressing opposition to Musk's actions and influence. Tesla's stock is experiencing its longest losing streak since its 2010 Nasdaq debut.
