Trump to buy Tesla, supporting Musk amid protests

independent.co.uk

Former President Donald Trump announced he will buy a new Tesla to support CEO Elon Musk amid protests against the company. He criticized the "radical left" for attempting to harm Musk and Tesla's reputation. Protests, dubbed "Tesla Takedown," have emerged across the U.S., with incidents of vandalism and arrests at showrooms. These protests reflect growing concerns over Musk's political influence and have led to a significant drop in Tesla's stock price. Tesla's shares fell 15% recently, returning to pre-Election Day levels. This decline coincides with broader market fears of a recession, exacerbated by Trump's tariffs and a potential global trade war.
