Literal used car salesman as president. 🤦♂️
Do these idiots not realize that it’s Tesla’s association with nazis that’s killing sales? How did they think this was going to help, Republicans are suddenly going to start buying electric vehicles?
Yes. That was the goal, the God-King ordering the masses to buy Tesla.
Honestly they may just ignore this one, as much as I hate it there’s a decent bit of overlap between the car community as a whole and MAGAts. Though it’s also possible they could interpret it as “get electric cars” at which point we may see more EV converts which I would love. The mere concept of an electric 1995 Toyota 4runner makes me harder than the Rock of Gibraltar.
Disgusting. No way for a President to act.
Title of his memoirs.
Why isn’t Elon wearing a suit?
He will wear the costume when his war against democracy is over.
This gives me major late night car dealer commercial vibes. My English to Trump is terrible however I have faith that someone write Trump doing the narration for this commercial.
If you haven’t heard infomercial musak playing every time he starts talking you haven’t been living.
There’s no pretending who’s calling the shots anymore. The monkey was asked to perform. He is giving his best performance and everyone is watching the (shit)show.
This looks like an SNL sketch. People keep expressing sympathy for the onion writers, but really, how does one even parody this? Just shot for shot, word for word something a satirist would come up with.
This is basically what killed South Park in 2016. Trump became president and you can’t even parody that, because You can’t think of anything more absurd. Except maybe electing him for a second time.
50 years ago, the president advertising a product probably would have lead to investigations
Now it barely makes the evening news.
Heck, no need to go back 50 years. If Biden did it there’d be backlash. Trump was right about being able to shoot someone and not losing supporters.
I remember they were ready to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit.
These guys and suits… and of course musk can wear his t-shirt and no one says shit.
Oh, but Vance had a lot to say about Zelenskyy not dressing up in the WH. Buncha dorks. 😂

It did, but he got the VP nom anyway. And he went on to fundamentally reshape the Republican Party over the next twenty five years.
Honestly, every time I see an SNL skit recently that mimics one of the latest events I keep saying this is sad because as crazy as they get, I feel like the real event was so much crazier. The skits just make me sad because I’m just being reminded of how fucked we are.
Reporting trump doing nice things for liberals is how they should approach it. IMO.
SNL have been getting alot it lately with all the material they are getting from trump admin.
This looks like an SNL sketch.
Ohh, I kept waiting for something funny to happen, but now I get it - it won’t.
:D
It’s not like it’s a surprise. Remember how he did a photoshoot with a can of beans, because the owner of the brand said he liked him?
Stopped eating Goya products because of this.
Same. Haven’t bought anything Goya since. Once i looked into them it was clear i probably should have stopped long before they endorsed trump but better late than never
our bougie grocery chain stopped carrying this after he did this.
No. What?
I had thought this was a photoshop. WTH.
its not, you can see the hands are very small
Is it required for him to look evil?
Is that a can of eggs?
Coconut milk
its coconuts.
I think it’s coconut
Oh. I thought maybe they had canned ones now.
There are pickled eggs, so maybe?
Right. There you go. Now we’re thinking outside of the carton. We’ll find a solution to this egg problem.
Americans electing a used car dealer to the Presidency is, frankly, the fate we deserved.
He seriously was being a car salesman. A photographer got a shot of his taking points.
Heh, Trump reeks of used car salesman energy.
Well, yeah. Remember the string of bankruptcies and unpaid workers who he stiffed?
You guys have retirement savings?
Enough to retire for about a week.
Hey now, I also have a week of sick leave saved up. I’d just have to pretend to be sick (and provide a doctor’s note for my absence) for an entire week before retiring for a week.
And how do they reconcile this with his administration’s pro-destroy-the-environment agenda?
It’s not about the environmental aspect of the car for them, it’s just another luxury sports vehicle to the buyers this is pitched at. Its fast, expensive and a desirable brand is all they care about, being electric is just a ‘cool quirk’ of it.
Were the brand to become really toxic and widely unlikeable by the general public then even the wealthy vapid types would be turned off it. Let’s hope we can get the momentum there, as the only buyers left would be the pro-EV MAGAs with money, and I very much doubt that’s a large enough demographic to keep Tesla afloat.
Microplastics from the tires
Please let this sink the stock even more.
It definitely won’t help. “The most unlikable person on earth being associated with our brand is tanking our stocks, what do we do? I know, well ask the second most unlikable person on earth to help.”
Yeah…I fully predict there will be a TARP bailout for Tesla.
One of the only times I’d put Trump at #1, because he’s just such a #2.
Tesla sales are tanking because of Elon’s embracing fascism and this is the best they could come up with to fix it
Just lean harder into it and hope the guy who hates electric cars can sell electric cars
Why is musk standing like his feet are afraid of each other? He looks like a proper ninny.
hes wearing lifts.
Makes room for the marionette
he’s getting ready for that star jump. crowds just love it.
It has to be bad if they resort to trying to sell EVs to climate change deniers.
Maybe this is secretly how they save the environment. Coal rollers switching to EVs. And Putin launching the nukes causing a nuclear winter. Global warming solved.
