The Daily Show's Parody of Trump and Musk at White House Tesla Auto Mall Goes Viral, Boosts Tesla

The Daily Show's recent parody commercial featuring President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unexpectedly turned into a viral hit, garnering positive reactions from Musk and his supporters. The parody, which was intended to mock Trump and Musk, instead highlighted Tesla vehicles in a humorous light, leading to comments that it might be the best car advertisement ever produced. Elon Musk, also the leader of DOGE, acknowledged the parody's impact, tweeting his appreciation for the unintended promotion of Tesla vehicles. The skit, which depicted a fictional 'White House Tesla Auto Mall,' resonated with viewers, prompting some to express a newfound interest in purchasing a Tesla. The parody also drew attention to the unconventional style of President Trump, who has been known to support American companies like Tesla. Trump bought a red Tesla S 'at full price' and a Tesla Cybertruck for his granddaughter Kai, further emphasizing his endorsement. This event underscores the unpredictable nature of political satire and its potential to inadvertently boost the subjects it aims to critique.
