On the bright side, I’d have to think Trump actively shilling for Tesla at the WH is going to be another sign to investors that Tesla is on shaky ground and the grossly overvalued Tesla stock bubble may be getting ready to burst. Everything Trump touches, dies. #ETTD
Vice President Trump doing a car commercial for President Musk. MAGA idiots will soon be buying EV’s when just a few months ago they hated EV’s. #Idiocracy2025
Meanwhile Delaware Dems are siding with treason, autocracy, the Kremlin, and Elon Musk. They want to hand him $55B off the top before retirees. Help me spread the word people! Take the article and spread it far and wide. Make Del-Dem-MAGA famous.
Any editors at Gizmodo? How did Maryland show up in this article? Makes no sense.
Corp power controlling our govt or any state govt is removing individuals’ ability for redress. Dems in DE willing to relinquish their power to corps & kiss Musk’s a—. No shame.
Bs what? Read the article. The state legislature (because of a desire to be pro corporate) are taking up a musk bill to pass which will essentially hand Elon musk $55B. They wanted to do this quietly. Don’t be a tribalist cult member.

Sale your used Teslas. Recycle, reuse, don’t buy any more or new. Put up advocacy flyers near Tesla charging stations. Hopefully other countries will get in on the boycott
he knows how to drive a golf cart, a vehicle I doubt it, he was chauffeured even to school as a child. That may be why he was so mean they had to send him to 'military school' where he learned all about bone spurs.
Hopefully, Kai hasn't already signed the contract with Gramps. The exorbitant interest he charges family members would kill her chances of ever getting out from under his control.
Envy was always part of the hate. I recall JD’s book & he stated many disliked Obama because he & his wife and daughters were so “clean” so perfect and learned. Plain folks couldn’t relate. Code for Look at these uppity Negroes with degrees in their pockets & money in the bank telling us what to do
Does mainstream America realize how cheap, tacky and pathetic this all is? They’re just killing the US export market. Who cares about Tesla but this 👇 should wake people up.
This guy has no clue about prices. He’s never had to work and buy a car. He doesn’t even know how to drive! But he’s here doing a commercial for Elon saying it’s cheap. What an asshole!
If you're looking for a better set of wheels
I will stand upon my head to make a deal!
I will stand upon my head until my ears are turning red
Go see Don, Go see Don, Go see Don
I wouldn't own one if you gave it to me. The damn thing tracks everything you do, more-so than a cell phone. It can be shutdown by people at Tesla anytime, denied support on a whim, feels cheap, insane insurance, not comfortable, hated more than BMWs, ... list goes on.
Trump: These Teslas are beautiful. So beautiful. Obviously I wouldn’t be seen dead in one myself. So the one I am pretending to buy is getting punted on to my granddaughter. She has shit taste in cars, she doesn’t care what she drives.
If Dump & Elonia think his pathetic car salesman cosplay is going to sell one single extra Tesla, they really are as dumb as they look. The WHOLE REASON people're dumping Teslas & the stock is the same reason people moved out/ got name removed from buildings labeled Trump. MOST PEOPLE HATE YOU TWO!
I feel like it's just going to further brand Tesla as the NaziCar. Most people w/the $ to buy one don't want a vehicle identified w/any political movement, plus there are many competitors now, most w/better safety records. Also, persistent stories about terrible maintenance at dealerships abound.
Trump: “I know you think you’re my least favorite grandkid, Kai. So, I tell ya what. I bought you a Tesla to show how much I care. Ignore the fire extinguisher. Idk why that’s in there.”
$100 million is a lot to pay for advertising, but Trump and Musk worked a deal. They totally deserve each other, but no one should be such a chump as to buy a Tesla from this.
This should be an impeachable offense as he's basically bribing the actual president with a taxpayer funded infomercial. Meanwhile, he's screwing over Ford and GM due to his fabricated trade war with our former besties in Canada. WTAF?
I think there are more. Al Green & Bernie Sanders, obviously. Maxwell Frost and a few others. But their response is too scattered and weak. There isn't a cohesive, organized effort.
NGL that’s what I have too. Mine’s old enough for acne and sass, still going, and I’m leaning heavily towards just getting another one in EV this time.
Now that the resale value on those cars is down the tubes and people don’t want be seen in them, I wonder if insurance claims of Teslas “weirdly catching on fire” will skyrocket
Yes, but Kai doesn’t work for the govt - yet. She’ll prob be on US payroll soon taking a six figure job formerly filled by someone who knew what they were doing but who got fired by Musk’s chain saw.
The Trump Regime is trying to dismantle every federal agency that HELPS regular and vulnerable people here at home and abroad…while Trump sells Teslas for a Nazi…
Forget the Hatch act or any relevant laws. It's just plain embarrassing. The whole world is watching the president of the United States sell cars in front of the White House. To support the long suffering richest man in the country, if not world. Charity fundraiser. For a billionaire.
"Buy one now and I'll throw in a Trump NFT.
But that's not all folks. The first lucky 100 buyers also get a free Trump Bible.
Call now with the code word MAGASAVESELON and get an extra 10% off the already low price.
Remember only you can save our endangered billionaires."
Republicans cannot force us to buy any product produced or sold by any company that supports the republicans' twisted agenda to privatize the nation taking we the people out of the economy. We the people are the economy and will continue to protest with our wallets!
How are these transgressions supposed to be dealt with (in a theoretical non Trump US)? Do the police get involved or is it down to Congress. As a Brit I don't know how this is supposed to work.
Definitely not an official act. Lets say POTUS bombs a hostile foreign power & a school gets caught in the crossfire those lives lost POTUS might be immune from accountability. But I believe the Prez had that already under those circumstances which is why the SCOTUS immunity ruling was so absurd
Lets say the President bombs a nation he believes is mobilizing an immanent attack against 🇺🇸 without hard evidence and takes out lets say a school. & the evidence was wrong. That might be an illegal act protected by this absurd Immunity. Turning the WH into a dealership is not an official act.
Exactly. I was at the gym and saw this on one of the TVs. I just couldn’t believe it. But nothing is ever done to him for breaking the law. It’s so damn frustrating!

Refile your w-4, so the exemptions outweigh your income.
When this regime is over, you catch up.
Or not.

People & democratic nations of the world, together, let's tell Musk, loud & clear, that fascism & oligarchs like him & Trump are not welcome.
Don't buy a Tesla car
Protest outside Tesla dealerships
Delete your Twitter-X profile
Don't buy Starlink

Like watching two dysfunctional parents trying to figure out who has to take the kids.
i have seen video of Biden driving.... never Trump🤔
Maybe Trump driving skills are like his reading skills
Besides that: the taxpayers ‘buy’. It comes from a company not paying taxes.
Americans are so stupid!

They're unwilling to act. They've let him get away with far worse. He shouldn't have even been qualified to run for President a second time.
