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.

    All cars have Full Self Driving. Except “Full Self Driving” is just a brand name as Tesla explained it to the judge. They are in fact SAE Level 2, which is not what a regular person would expect hearing that name. Musk has been shouting they will have level 3, 4 or even 5 this year for years now.

    Other brands have Level 3 cars for sale now. But all the dumb car “tech” sites still claim Tesla is the best. But in fact it’s only their marketing that’s best.
