Trump Says He's Going to Buy a Tesla as Shares Slump

US President Donald Trump said he’ll buy a new Tesla to support Elon Musk, after shares of the electric-car maker had their worst day in four years amid a growing backlash over Musk’s political allegiances. Ben Kallo, Baird senior research analyst, is still bearish on the stock in the near-term. He's on "Bloomberg Surveillance."

[HenryTudorVIII]

Yep, one Tesla bought by Trump will help Tesla.

[RonG-rxlj]

😂 After years of conservatives trashing EVs and calling EV owners gay, now they want to buy one. Can’t make this shit up! Lmao!!

[shadowwilson]

That's pretty sad and embarrassing

[rayjarquejr.]

I thought Republicans like Trump hate EVs 😂😂😂

[cosmokramer]

Musk is done! He can enjoy his couple of years of nonsense
Trump got what he needed from him, once trump leaves office
Musk is OVER

[tubingtomtom]

Great, now we’re gonna see a Tesla in front of every other mobile home. 😂 His supporters will be trading in their jacked up trucks and running out to buy extension cords

[post_eternity]

Trump puting out statements in favor of Tesla is biased against Ford and other USA car manufacturers.

[Griggs-sn]

Tesla..the official clown car of the White House..

[Kallindril]

Swastikars not popular anymore, so sad.

[hydoffdhagaweyne]

You know Tesla is having a bad time when trump has to speak like this

[glennnielsen]

I wonder if Trump also says it runs on clean coal?

[morganfbilbo]

May we hope that the battery fails within the first 6 months!

[mihirdaskamath]

Yes, Trump buying Tesla should help their sales!!! 👌 You just can't make this up!!

[bartvandekeere]

I will not even buy a Tesla, before Muskie went Mad

[tomaskauma]

Buying one car doesn't save tesla ... musk! 🤣

[bezenhappync]

American taxpayers are by buying a tesla.

[Myamirah]

Jesus Christ ! He’s a car salesman now. Glad to see that Elon is starting to feel the pain.

[operative]

😂Wow. Just....wow. Just when I think his narcissism and self-delusion couldn't possibly get any worse, he somehow manages to find a new low. Does he honestly think that his personal purchase of a Tesla is somehow going to restore consumer confidence....really?

[sundog]

so rolling coal on teslas isn't a thing anymore
