Trump may get rid of his Tesla after Musk row: official
Trump may get rid of his Tesla after Musk row: official Washington, United States Donald Trump may now offload a Tesla he said he bought earlier this year in a show of support for Elon Musk, a White House official said yesterday, following a blazing row between the US president and his billionaire former advisor. The red electric vehicle, which retails for around $80,000, was still in a parking lot on the White House grounds on Friday, an AFP reporter said, a day after the very public meltdown between Trump and the South African-born tech tycoon. "He's thinking about it, yes," a senior White House official told AFP when asked if the Republican would sell or give away the Tesla. Tesla stocks had tanked more than 14 percent on Thursday amid the row, losing some $100 billion of the company's market value, but leapt back in early trading Friday. Trump, who does not drive as a president, said he was buying the Tesla in March to boost support for his mega-donor, whose brand -- and bottom line -- has been hit hard by public outrage over his role in slashing US government jobs. At a choreographed publicity stunt that turned the White House into a pop-up Tesla showroom, Trump praised the EV as a "great product" and lashed out on social media at "Radical Left" attacks against the world's richest person and his company. Trump's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and another senior aide posed in the car as recently as last week, in a photograph posted on Musk's social media network X. "Taking President Trump's Tesla out for a ride," Trump's communications advisor Margo Martin posted. But the shiny red vehicle has now become an awkward symbol of the fiery political divorce between Trump, 78, and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Musk, 53. Trump said he was "very disappointed" by Musk and threatened to end his government contracts after his ex-aide criticized the president's flagship budget and policy mega-bill as an "abomination."

Elon Musk: Starlink Has Been Approved In Saudi Arabia
Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia has approved the use of his satellite internet service Starlink for aviation and maritime sectors. 'I'd also like to thank the Kingdom for approving Starlink for maritime and aviation use,' Musk said during the Saudi-US Investment Forum, which coincided with a White House-led visit to the Kingdom. Starlink, operated by Musk's aerospace firm SpaceX, has been pushing for broader international expansion, recently offering its hardware for free outside the US to attract new users. The service aims to provide high-speed connectivity, particularly in underserved and mobile areas, and Saudi Arabia's transport and logistics sectors are likely to be key beneficiaries. Musk, who also heads Tesla, used the occasion to float his wider ambitions for the region, signalling interest in introducing Tesla's self-driving cars to the Kingdom. While no launch date was revealed, he said the move could bring cutting-edge autonomous technology to Saudi roads. 'I think it would be very exciting to have autonomous vehicles here in the kingdom, indeed, if you're amenable,' he said. He also revealed that he had shown several of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots to both President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Tesla has pitched its robots and self-driving vehicles as the foundation for its future profitability, although its Optimus model is still under development and faces stiff competition in the robotics space. The high-profile event on Tuesday brought together Trump and a delegation of US tech executives focused on artificial intelligence, semiconductors and defence, further deepening cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia on emerging technologies.

These Are The Favorite Car Brands Of The Ultra-Rich
What car brands do America's wealthiest drivers prefer? While luxury brands may come to mind, data compiled by S&P Global Mobility highlights some interesting findings. In this graphic, Visual Capitalist's Marcu Lu ranks the favorite car brands of the ultra-rich, based on each brand's percentage share of new registrations in the United States. To come up with this analysis, S&P Global Mobility combined income data from the U.S. Census with their own vehicle registration and loyalty data. Ultra-wealthy households are defined as those with annual income of over $500,000. Rank Brand Ultra-Wealthy Market Share(% of new registrations) National Average Market Share(% of new registrations) 1 🇺🇸 Tesla 19.3 4.7 2 🇩🇪 BMW 9.9 2.4 3 🇩🇪 Mercedes-Benz 8.7 1.9 4 🇬🇧 Land Rover 5.8 0.6 5 🇯🇵 Toyota 4.6 14.0 6 🇩🇪 Audi 4.6 1.2 7 🇺🇸 Ford 4.1 9.3 8 🇯🇵 Lexus 3.9 2.6 9 🇩🇪 Porsche 3.9 0.4 10 🇺🇸 Rivian 3.4 0.3 Tesla is the most popular brand among America's ultra-rich, accounting for an impressive 19.3% of new vehicle registrations. This popularity is likely due to Tesla's blend of technology and electric performance, which may resonate with wealthy buyers who value innovation and sustainability. In fact, the ultra-rich are 17.5 percentage points more likely to buy an EV than the average American (85.1% vs 67.7%). This might explain why Rivian, a relatively new car brand, is #10 in this ranking with a 3.4% market share among ultra-rich. Mainstream brands like Toyota and Ford continue to hold strong appeal among America's ultra-rich. These brands can deliver a more practical and reliable experience, and are among the cheapest car brands to own and maintain. Another interesting stat: the Ford F-series pickup truck is the best-selling vehicle in 24 U.S. states.
