 Yes. After all did you see him getting Trump to help make an ad for
Tesla. That tells you a lot about both men.

 I think I'd like a few more actual facts before I start embracing your

 So would you be willing believe the video of Trump pitching Tesla
vehicles alongside Elon.

 Most likely just because Tesla stock has been hammered over the past
month.

Not just the stock price. Sales of Tesla's awful cars has been dropping all over the world. Reportedly, 97% of Germans will not buy a Tesla car because they've finally realised that he's a raving lunatic (something some of us knew all along). Even here in New Zealand, a man was recently arrested for going around spraying paint on Tesla and Polestar cars.

Especially given that over the past year Trump was speaking out against EVs, but then Musk has put hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump's PACs.

Not only that, but Trump the Chump's ridiculous tariff war is going to cause problems for Tesla (and most other American companies).
So, as usual, Trump the Chump's massive ego, brainless stupidity, and complete lack of business ability makes a complete mess, even out of his "support" for his buddy Muskrat.
