President Trump has spent years bashing electric vehicles. But with Elon Musk by his side, he said he would buy a bright red one.

America PAC has now moved on to influencing the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, with Musk’s group dropping over $8 million to support a conservative judge in an election next month, according to the Associated Press. Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk are even swooping in to hold a town hall for the conservative judge on Monday.

Trump told reporters he would write a check for the car, which retails for roughly $80,000, and leave it at the White House so his staff can drive it. The president also said he hopes his purchase will boost Tesla,

President Donald Trump purchased a Tesla and thanked the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, for devoting “his energy and his life” to helping the Trump administration. Trump appeared with Musk on Tuesday afternoon at the White House.

By reviewing the Teslas in public before cameras, Trump ensured that his purchase would get wide attention. Dan Scavino, a White House deputy chief of staff, livestreamed the event on X, the social media app owned by Musk. Trump said he would pay for the vehicle by check.

According to those in the know, the Octomom of the Oval Office’s days pestering Mr Trump to try soylent or defund Sesame Street could be numbered and the countdown has started to his inevitable turfing out of the White House.

On Polymarket, the probability that Musk will leave the administration by the end of the year spiked as high as 48% on Monday, the day Tesla shares plummeted.
