Musk Literally Gave Trump a Script for Desperate ‘Tesla Ad’

“They gave me notes,” Trump said as he participated in a stunt to boost the crisis-hit company of his billionaire buddy.

Summary

Elon Musk gave Donald Trump a scripted sales pitch during a White House event where Trump inspected Teslas.

Photographers captured Trump holding notes with phrases like “SAFEST car” and “affordable.” The stunt followed a 15% drop in Tesla’s stock, linked to backlash over Musk’s involvement in DOGE.

Trump defended Musk on Truth Social, blaming the decline on a “Radical Left” boycott.

Meanwhile, Musk’s other ventures, including X and SpaceX, are struggling with outages and test failures.

    I don’t think the Handwriting Championship is probably a good sample of the average British kid’s handwriting, but admittedly those are pretty good.

      Haha, maybe so, but at least it’s the norm here for kids to be taught cursive from age 4. I think too much emphasis is put on handwriting actually.

        I’m not too proud to admit I was wrong though, I did think you were bullshitting because “America bad” and come to find out English kids do indeed have freakishly good handwriting. I’m sorry for coming at you like that.
