Report: Trump may sell his brand-new Tesla
President Donald Trump may sell or give away the red Telsa he purchased from Elon Musk, according to a new report. Trump bought the Tesla - paying cash - in March after he let Musk park several of his vehicle on the South Lawn in a show of support.
The move comes after he and Musk's bro-mance ended, loudly and spectacularly, on the social media on Thursday. It was both painful and fascinating to watch.
Musk dropped the bombshell after bombshell tweet: that the Jeffrey Epstein files haven't been released because Trump was in them; he endorsed Trump's impeachment; and he declared the president's tariffs will bring about a recession.
Trump is 'not interested' in speaking with him. In March, the president turned the South Lawn of the White House into a Tesla showroom with five different models - including the infamous cybertruck - on display on the driveway.
The model Trump bought, which he said his staff at the White House would use, has a starting price of $76,880. Aides have taken selfies of themselves in the Tesla as it sat in its parking space outside the West Wing.
It's unclear if any one has actually driven it. Trump held the event to support Musk's electronic car company.
Tesla showrooms and vehicles became targets of the public's rage as they expressed their unhappiness with Musk and his government cutting work through the Department of Government Efficiency.
