Elon Musk told Trump to sail into the sunset

Fresno CA

Description

In his first comments since the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago compound, Donald Trump took aim at electric vehicles in a speech over the weekend that managed to attack two of his main opponents—rising Republican star Elon Musk as well as incumbent President Joe Biden. “He told me (…) ‘please, please let’s get rid of this stuff’,” claimed Trump, adding it allegedly took the person “more time to charge the damn car” than spent driving it. Trump often indicates his own personal preferences by couching them in stories based on unnamed, anonymous people that are difficult if not near impossible to verify in an attempt to make them sound like they enjoy broad grassroots support. For example, it would seem unlikely that Trump could have referred to Kentucky representative Thomas Massie, one of the few Republican members of Congress to drive a Tesla. The MIT-educated electrical engineer has been a customer of Musk for a decade now and would be well accustomed to driving one. “It’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” he wrote, ending any debate over whether he might back the real estate tycoon’s bid for another term in the White House.
