A new low for ethics in American politics.
For $250 Million you can have the President do commercials on the the WH lawn...
"Rapist selects a new Tesla on White House driveway to show support for Elon Musk"
"They have one for $35,000, which is pretty low...It’s a great product, we have to celebrate him." ~Trump said during his Tesla promotional event with Elon Musk at the White House.
Trump is literally reading the sales pitch with pricing Elon wrote for him...

The American experiment is officially dead.
It has entered a new fascistic phase.
People like Dope will celebrate or excuse every anti-democratic thing he does; every idiotic move he makes.

tesla board seems useless on this.
does anyone think this will actually help tesla sales?
half the u.s. and most of world see it as a negative.
low income MAGA cannot afford it.
high income MAGA may buy a few, but i usually see them opting for luxury. probably not in the mood unless stock hedges are kicking in.
i guess we know the answer if no american car companies are complaining nor requesting trump's endorsement.
trump destroyed the peter principle venturing beyond car salesman.

To have the South Lawn of the White House as a Tesla showroom?
Maybe it will turn a few MAGAts toward Tesla, but of course that is not the usual demographic that buys a Tesla, and especially after being repeatedly told by the Orange One in the immediate past that electric vehicles are horrible. The about-face may not work quite as well this time around.

https://www.npr.org/2025/03/12/nx-s1-5310006/trump...The Trump administration has halted much of the federal government's adoption of electric vehicles into its massive fleet of cars and trucks.
The U.S. General Services Administration, which orders many of the vehicles and owns EV chargers used by other federal agencies, has "temporarily suspended" orders of zero-emission vehicles, stopped the installation of new EV charging stations, and ordered some existing stations to be shut down, according to internal memos obtained by NPR and Colorado Public Radio.
"All existing charging stations that are deemed not to be mission-critical should be disconnected from the network and turned off," reads a March 3 memo on EV chargers signed by Michael Peters, the new commissioner of the GSA's Public Buildings Service, appointed by President Trump.

Turns out being a nazi is bad for business...
JPMORGAN slashes $TSLA Q1 delivery estimates to just ~355K, which is -8% y/y and -28% q/q from 495K in 4Q24.
"We struggle to think of anything analogous in the history of the automotive industry, in which a brand has lost so much value so quickly."

mea culpa on jpm generalization due to dimon and generic equity analysts...i keep forgetting that data driven, voice-of-reason, macroeconomist m.cembalest is @jpm.
"Here’s the interesting thing about the stock market: it cannot be indicted, arrested or deported; it cannot be
intimidated, threatened or bullied; it has no gender, ethnicity or religion; it cannot be fired, furloughed or defunded; it cannot be primaried before the next midterm elections; and it cannot be seized, nationalized or invaded. It’s the ultimate voting machine, reflecting prospects for earnings growth, stability, liquidity, inflation, taxation and predictable rule of law."

we will know soon enough whether the trump commercial helped tesla sales, but beware america's fastest growing industry : the economic excuses machine.
