In late-night screed, Trump says he’s buying a Tesla to support Elon Musk

President Donald Trump is going electric.

In a flurry of late-night posts Monday on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump announced he will purchase “a brand new Tesla” in “a show of confidence and support” for Elon Musk, who is leading his efforts to slash the federal government.

Musk is “putting it on the line in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” Trump wrote, accusing “Radical Left Lunatics” of “trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers.”

Trump said he would purchase the Tesla on Tuesday morning. Musk, for his part, thanked Trump in a post on X.
