Trump Surprises Many With Handwritten Tesla Notes During White House Event
During a recent White House event featuring electric vehicles, former President Donald Trump captured attention by expressing strong support for Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk.
Trump was seen admiring a red Tesla Model S and even mentioned wanting to buy one — while joking about gifting a Cybertruck to his granddaughter.
What really sparked buzz online was a photo showing Trump holding a handwritten note with Tesla model prices and details.
The note suggested he had taken personal interest in the brand, possibly even considering a purchase.
While Tesla vehicles are eligible for federal tax incentives, Trump’s eligibility for such benefits remains uncertain due to his income level.
Despite Tesla’s recent setbacks — including a 55% drop in stock value and falling global sales — Trump defended Musk, calling his work in the electric vehicle industry “innovative” and “important for America.”
This marks a notable shift from Trump’s previous skepticism about electric vehicles, though whether this new support will translate into concrete policy remains unclear.
