President Trump Plans to Sell His Tesla, Ending Ties with Elon Musk

WASHINGTON — In a surprising move, President Trump has decided to part ways with all connections to Elon Musk, including the Tesla he purchased at full price on March 11.

A White House official has confirmed that the president is now looking to either sell or give away his red Tesla.

The red Tesla is currently parked in the White House parking lot and was meant for staff use.

Trump’s purchase of the Tesla was initially seen as a show of support for Musk, who was facing criticism and attacks on Tesla vehicles and facilities across the country.

However, the relationship between Trump and Musk took a turn for the worse following a heated exchange on Thursday. Musk’s criticism of the Trump-backed “Big, Beautiful Bill” led to a public feud, with Musk ultimately calling for the president’s impeachment and advocating for a new political party to challenge the GOP.
