00:00Now on Tesla and the White House, Donald Trump yesterday did an unseemly, self-serving, it
00:09just turns your stomach at what they do to help one another.
00:16So he did an unseemly, self-serving business advertisement for his number one political
00:21patron on the White House lawn, Elon Musk.
00:24What do you think Americans think of that when they see Trump pushing Elon Musk, the
00:28richest man in the world's Teslas?
00:31A man born with a limousine, who for the rest of his life will be driven by Secret Service,
00:38was supposedly buying a new car and checking out his EV options.
00:42What a joke.
00:46This was a grossly transparent attempt to get Donald Trump's MAGA supporters to purchase
00:52Teslas after sales have slumped.
00:56And that's driven the company's stock price into a wall.
00:58We all know what Donald Trump thinks about stock prices.
01:02It's the end-all and be-all.
01:03But for any of the new MAGA converts who are now joining the EV revolution, even though
01:13they say they've hated it, MAGA said it hated it, let me just say to these MAGA converts
01:19who might buy an EV to bail out their buddy Elon, if you're below the income limit, you
01:25can thank Democrats for your $7,500 EV tax credit.
