In a move that’s turning heads in Washington, President Donald J. Trump is cutting ties with Tesla CEO Elon Musk — and that includes offloading the luxury Tesla Model S he personally purchased just months ago.
A senior White House official confirmed Friday that Trump is preparing to sell or donate the red Model S, which has been sitting in the White House staff parking area since its high-profile purchase on March 11. Valued at over $100,000, the electric vehicle was meant for official use only, as the President is prohibited from driving under federal security protocols.
At the time, the purchase was seen as a powerful gesture of support for Musk, who had come under fire — literally — from radical left-wing activists targeting Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and infrastructure with Molotov cocktails and even flamethrowers.
“These are bad people,” President Trump said in March. “We’re going to catch them. And when we do, they’ll go through hell.”
Trump also revealed he had purchased a futuristic Cybertruck for his granddaughter Kai, calling it “the coolest design out there.”
Back then, Trump praised Musk as a patriot, saying:
“He’s been treated unfairly by a small, loud minority. He should never be penalized for standing up for this country.”
But fast forward to today, and the political tides have shifted sharply.
Musk has publicly attacked the President’s flagship “Big, Beautiful Bill” — a legislative cornerstone of Trump’s second term — and even went so far as to suggest impeachment and the formation of a new political party to take on the GOP establishment.
President Trump fired back, suggesting that Musk’s lucrative government contracts could be on the chopping block. He also accused Musk of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” after leaving a federal advisory post.
What This Means:
Trump’s decision to distance himself from Musk isn’t just personal — it signals a broader break from once-friendly tech elites who are now aligning themselves with globalist, anti-America agendas.
Bottom Line:
When a patriot like Donald Trump supports you, you don’t turn your back on him — especially not when the future of the country is on the line.
