Trump’s Tesla Dilemma Amid Musk Fallout
Clear Facts
- President Trump is considering selling or giving away his Tesla due to a fallout with Elon Musk.
- The Tesla was initially purchased to support Musk amidst protests against his company.
- The relationship between Trump and Musk has deteriorated over disagreements on a spending bill.
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump is contemplating parting ways with his Tesla vehicle, a move prompted by a public disagreement with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This decision comes after a once-solid relationship between the two has soured, largely due to differing views on a significant spending bill.
The red Tesla Model S, which Trump acquired directly from Musk on March 11, was initially a gesture of solidarity. Trump aimed to show his support for Musk and his company, especially as they faced backlash from protesters targeting Tesla assets across the nation. At the time, Trump remarked that Musk had been “treated very unfairly” and should not face penalties for his patriotism.
However, the camaraderie between Trump and Musk has since unraveled. The tension escalated when Musk voiced his disapproval of the spending bill that Trump champions. According to White House insiders, the final straw for Musk was the administration’s rejection of his preferred candidate to lead NASA, leading him to distance himself from Trump and even call for his impeachment.
Musk further expressed his discontent in a social media post, labeling the spending package as a “disgusting abomination” and criticizing those who supported it. He went so far as to suggest that Vice President J.D. Vance should replace Trump, adding fuel to the already fiery situation.
During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump conveyed his disappointment in Musk’s recent actions, noting the unexpected turn in their relationship. Despite Musk’s attempts to reach out, Trump has shown no inclination to engage in discussions with the Tesla CEO.
As the Tesla remains parked outside the West Wing, the future of this once-symbolic vehicle hangs in the balance, much like the relationship between these two influential figures.

I would gladly accept the Tesla if he wants to give it away and not because I voted for him twice. My car is over 21 years old and I could use a new one.
Thank you in advance Mr. President.

I would rather have a “real automobile” rather than a “battery operated device” similar to a flashlight.

The problem with your “thinking” is that your th se “battery powered devices” will leave your car in the dust in any drag race. And the environment thing, too.

I believe this “dust up” is a giant hoax and the media fell for it hook, line and sinker. If it does anything it certainly keeps the MSM jackals occupied and doing what they do best; make stuff up.

I think he should keep it as a gift from a friend. Friends have had disagreements and two head strong men should not loose a friendship over a shit fit. True men know this. Trump has family members who could drive it , but if it’s a rules violation then give it back or to a charity to action off..

Agreed. It’s not as if Trump bought the car. It was another, er, “gift” he didn’t reject.
