Why is the Trump Administration Selling Teslas?

If you’re a subscriber to this here little newsletter, you are no doubt aware I write a weekly column for National Review Online. In my piece this week, I discuss the debacle at the White House earlier in the week in which the president of the United States hawked cars for his largest campaign donor.

I write:

The next day, Trump himself, seeking to soothe the bruised ego of the world’s richest man, held a press conference at the White House to convince Americans to buy Tesla automobiles. Tesla, of course, is owned by Trump adviser Elon Musk, who, through his Department of Government Efficiency, is trying to lay off large swaths of the federal workforce. As a backlash to Musk’s erratic, slash-and-burn behavior, many Americans are refusing to buy his cars and Cybertrucks, which are currently the cause of over 98 percent of eye rolls conducted in the U.S.

During the staged sell-a-thon, Trump suggested the people protesting against Tesla should be labeled “domestic terrorists.” In a social media post, he claimed people boycotting Tesla were behaving “illegally and collusively.”

As Americans watch their retirement accounts wash away under the weight of Trump’s new tariff policy (or the markets’ inability to figure out what it is), the president recognized the one man who is truly oppressed in these times: the professional internet troll worth $325 billion whose net worth is dropping as a result of forces entirely within his own control.
