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.

    I was talking about people. You’re talking about royalty being able to replace the king :)

    Or maybe we have some country where people can send an idiot parliamentarian home without a revolution?

      Look up concepts like snap elections and direct democracy.

      Even California has recalled governors and had special elections.
