Is that how it is being played? Jesus Christ, weak ass oligarchic sycophant media.
It was the president doing an add like a spokesperson on the fucking White House lawn. Didn’t even have the decency to do that disgusting shit at MaraLago, he insulted all Americans with that imo.
And so far the stock price is responding accordingly. Nevermind that his policy is actively stopping funding of charging infrastructure and electric vehicle procurement throughout the federal government. I also seriously doubt the president has driven a car by himself in decades.
I feel like the Trump MAGA bump already happened for Tesla.
Yesterday was selling to the sold and reminding potential customers owning a Tesla is a political statement.
I was arguing this with a big Trump Elon supporter. He hates government waste and taxes. He had a rebuttal of Biden did the same thing for solar panels. Biden imposed 100 percent tariffs on Chinese evs. When I said free trade. I'm a bad debater.
Because it was so awkward and (I try not to use this word but it is too accurate in this case) cringeworthy, I think it's hard for some to notice how utterly corrupt and startling it was.
It’s open corruption, and the news media that pimped the “Hunter’s Laptop” fabricated scandal into a major news story are greeting it with a collective shrug.
Blatantly breaking The Hatch Act and Corporate media doesn't even yawn - they relish his criming.
Violations of The Hatch Act can be reported here https://osc.gov/Pages/File-Complaint-Portal.aspx Amazingly the site is still up. Won't be for long, I'm sure.
There is no News media anymore. NPR is probably the last one. It will be defunded as soon as the Orange man finds he can destroy it with the rest of government.
Oh come on we can spin this as the President endorses sale of all EVs and thinks gas automobiles are dead.
You know how like some sites would have done.
Yes…..wow. Just the mental gymnastics to love Tesla but HATE EVs is nuts. How many MAGA douche bags are going to go out and buy Teslas due to this? I think the number is close to zero.
Thank you for staying on the graft! It's completely outrageous and likely illegal. Both @maddow.msnbc.com and @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com covered the illegal nature of the stunt on their shows last night. I didn't stay up to see if @stephruhle.bsky.social talked about it, but I would bet she did.
Does "Trump denies any knowledge of Project 2025" ring a bell? Or his "joke" about being a dictator from day one?
Why hasn't his administration been treated as a five alarm fire since at least March 2020???
Also tfw that no one up until yesterday has said 'the GAO' when talking about government efficiency and waste fraud and abuse. Like they never audited any agency before. Now SS, Medicaid, Medicare audits that have existed for years and not acted on are going to be acted on. But because of Musk?

has been the practice of much, if not most, of the media since 2016, and why I've narrowed (tailored) my news consumption radically.
Maybe they should go to diners in Kansas and ask them about Teslas... That passed frequently as 'investigative journalism' under Biden.
Instead they'd rather recite photo op press releases.

Most media people are too afraid to say anything that would upset the dear leader I guess
