Trump ready to sell or give away the red Tesla he bought to support Musk
The electric car parked near the White House: the end of a symbolic alliance between the president and the CEO of Tesla
Donald Trump is reportedly considering selling or giving away the red Tesla he bought last March to show his support for Elon Musk, his ally and super advisor at the time. This was revealed by a senior administration official, quoted by ABC, according to whom the vehicle was spotted yesterday parked on West Executive Avenue, a few steps from the White House.
The purchase of the electric car was a highly symbolic gesture: at the time, while Tesla was collapsing on the stock market due to tariffs, Trump wanted to publicly demonstrate his closeness to the CEO of X. ‘I want to buy this car,’ he said during an event, while noting that he could not drive it for security reasons. ‘I’ll keep it at the White House, my staff will use it,’ he explained.
The initiative was part of a phase of harmony between the two, also celebrated with emphatic statements by the president: ‘Elon is a patriot and Tesla is a hugely successful company. He cannot be penalised for this,’ he said, describing him as capable of ‘uncovering billions in fraud’ and part of ‘a better team’ for the country.
On that occasion, Trump also joked about the method of payment: ‘I’ll pay with a cheque, I like signing cheques. They’re better than modern systems,’ and announced a possible personalised number plate with the word ‘Truth’ on it.
The decision to sell Tesla could mark the end of an agreement that has cooled in recent months. No official comment has been released by either the White House or Musk.
