Many years since I saw Elon almost crying in an interview, it comes to mind when top astronauts called SpaceX failures and he said ‘I’ll never give up’, in tears. I believe he’s close to a breakdown. He’s been taken in the wrong place, IMHO. Politics isn’t his playing field. pic.twitter.com/bR5K2gP53m

Adding to the pressure, Tesla is also dealing with a worldwide decline in electric vehicle sales, further complicating Musk’s already mounting challenges.

However, despite these obstacles, Musk still has the unwavering support of his friend Donald Trump. In fact, rather than backing away, Trump has doubled down on his defense of Musk, making multiple public statements in recent days to show his support.

Donald Trump just turned the White House into a Tesla showroom!

March 10 was a rough day for Elon Musk, but he got an unexpected boost from former President Donald Trump, who took to Truth Social urging his supporters to stand by Tesla.

“To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” Trump wrote. “But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for. They tried to do it to me at the 2024 Presidential Ballot Box, but how did that work out? In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American. Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”

This show of loyalty was surprising, especially since Trump had previously criticized electric vehicles, dismissing them as only useful “if you have a towing company.”

But on March 11, Trump doubled down on his endorsement of Musk’s company, showcasing several Tesla models and publicly praising the billionaire.

“I’m going to buy a brand-new Tesla,” Trump told reporters, emphasizing that he would pay “full price.” He also quipped, “everything’s computer.”
