“While Trump cuts programs you need to live, he’s turning the White House into a car dealership to advertise his unelected shadow president’s failing company,” said one critic.

      It’s not though.

      Elon even said if there was a conflict of interest, he’d decide whether to step back or not. Since he’s there and involved, it’s pretty obvious there’s no conflict! Logic.

      Like really, you have this guy who is pushing fossil fuels and fracking and has an agenda against cleaner energy options… but then goes and supports this dudes company… like if trump had morals he would be breaking all of them… but clearly he doesn’t and I’m sure if you followed the money it would all make sense.

    If a bunch of conservatives buy Teslas to own the libs and end up accelerating the decline of ICE vehicles that would be pretty funny.

    It’s worth watching the video…

    After he gets in you can still kind of hear what they’re saying.

    trump has to ask what the two pedals do…

    Elmo asked him if he wanted to drive, and Trump had to ask a handler if they wanted him to drive and they said he could. Elmo tried to reassure him that it was “just like a golf cart” but trump panicked and got out pretty quickly.

    He was desperate for someone to tell him not to, but everyone was fine with it.

    Then he made some quip about Biden not even being able to get in it, and us much as I dislike Biden, at least a couple of years ago he was still capable of driving:

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-floors-electric-ford-truck-test-drive-pushes/story?id=77764009

    It’s probably been 50 years since trump drove anything besides a golf cart.

      Biden famously still has his 1967 Corvette which he received from his father as a wedding gift. It is immaculate.

      Biden may not be a gearhead but he is a proud owner/driver of one hell of a car. He kept it perfect.

      edit: looking at the picture again, is that paint damage on the running board? I wonder if it had sidepipes at one point. I’m sure if it is damage and not a reflection it’s been repaired by now, he loves that car.

      Part of the agreement presidents sign when they consent to USSS protection is that they are no longer allowed to drive themselves except in pre-approved, controlled situations. Thus, it’s even more concerning he had to ask for permission, since this should have been cleared in the planning stages, long before he got to touch the car, and he should have known that already. Just more evidence that the trump team don’t really know what they’re doing.

        In all likelihood it was cleared for him to drive and he knew he was supposed to drive.

        He just chickened out when it came time to do it.

        Seriously, watch the video if you haven’t, it’s easy to tell.

      I can actually respect trump for thism At least he has the self awareness to realize he’s too dumb/incapable to drive

      My parents are old AF, hard of hearing, bad eyesight, and confidently driving every day. I keep telling them to stop driving

          Quote by a forest ranger at Yosemite National Park on why it is hard to design the perfect garbage bin to keep bears from breaking into it:

          “There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the dumbest tourists.”

          And the smartest cybertruck owners are way worse then the tourists.

      Were you in a position to buy Tesla such that your boycott matters, or is this just defacto “not buying anyways?” Either way, good.

        I’m due for a new vehicle and likely would have just got a model X if Musk wasn’t Musk. So, I’m at least one lost sale. Likely going Rivian.
