Summary
Elon Musk gave Donald Trump a scripted sales pitch during a White House event where Trump inspected Teslas.
Photographers captured Trump holding notes with phrases like “SAFEST car” and “affordable.” The stunt followed a 15% drop in Tesla’s stock, linked to backlash over Musk’s involvement in DOGE.
Trump defended Musk on Truth Social, blaming the decline on a “Radical Left” boycott.
Meanwhile, Musk’s other ventures, including X and SpaceX, are struggling with outages and test failures.
Only in the USA … the president is doing product advertisement. In a democracy the president would be sent home and banned for life from any government function. How much more before the USA citizens notice something is very wrong with having him as POTUS
Is there any country nowadays where people can send the idiot back home without a revolution?
South Korea just did this. Lad tried to start a coup to hide from consequences and got eaten alive.
Didn’t SK just did that? They protested but it wasn’t anything violent
The Premiere of our province did a quick plug for Tim Hortons breakfast sandwiches and we just elected him into his third straight majority government.
And now he’s flying down to Washington to negotiate tariffs witx this guy. I’m sure it’ll go great for us.
Sure, I remember Goya beans will enough to turn them around every time I go to the grocery store!
“But wait! There’s more!”
I had a problem when Biden was shilling for Ford too…

More so when we “loaned” Ford 9.2 billion to build battery factories in SK only for them to do massive layoffs of American workers later.
It’s good people are upset at how intertwined capitalism and politics are, but shit isn’t going to get better when we only criticize it when we don’t like the letter by the politician’s name.
When neoliberals are just less corrupt Republicans, it makes it to easy for people to say both are bad even though ones clearly worse.
But I just cant take anyone seriously who says that stuff is unrelated to Ford’s support of Dems. They don’t give a fuck about policy or helping people. They’re scratching each other’s back just like trump and Elmo do.
Just way less obvious and we excuse a lot of it because “at least they’re not Republicans”.
