President Donald Trump purchased a red Tesla Model S Plaid at the White House on Tuesday to show his support for Elon Musk and Tesla following a significant decline in the company's stock price. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, brought several models to the White House for the president to review. Accompanied by Musk and his son, X, Trump selected the Model S Plaid, paying full market price and declining any discounts. Trump expressed hope that his purchase would boost Tesla's sales, stating, "I hope buying a Tesla boosts Tesla's sales." He commended Musk, saying, "We have to celebrate somebody that has the courage to do this. Elon could've said, I'm not gonna get involved." The president's support for Tesla comes amid concerns over the company's stock performance, which has seen a significant decline. Trump's endorsement is viewed as a vote of confidence in both Musk and Tesla's future prospects.
