President Trump recently declared his intention to buy a shiny, new Tesla, throwing his weight behind Elon Musk in the midst of a bizarre backlash directed at the automotive titan. Musk, the mastermind behind Tesla, SpaceX, and the social media platform X, has found himself in the crosshairs of the left for his efforts to trim the fat from government bureaucracy. Quite the unholy alliance: the Radical Left and boycotts, who knew they could get any worse?
In a Truth Social post, Trump characterized Musk as a hero, bravely “putting it on the line” by cutting government jobs and tackling wasteful spending, which the left, in their usual fashion, simply cannot abide. This led to accusations of collusion among far-left activists seeking to sabotage Tesla, a company that’s been pushed into the spotlight for being not just a great American automaker but also Musk’s brainchild. Apparently, the Left tries to engineer the same failure they did with Trump’s 2024 run—spoiler alert: it didn’t work then, and it’s not going to work now.
Over the past week, spontaneous protests have erupted at Tesla dealerships nationwide. Some of these protests, humorously and unfortunately dubbed “Tesla Takedown,” took place in places like Maryland and Manhattan, where armed with nothing but banners and bad ideas, leftist activists seemed to forget the fine line between peaceful expression and vandalism. Local authorities reported all sorts of mayhem, with some Tesla locations becoming unwitting targets of graffiti and chaos. A note to demonic leftist protestors: vandalism is indeed illegal, but boycotting is protected speech—thanks to a Supreme Court ruling from 1982, they’re able to make themselves heard in every wrong way imaginable.
Moreover, a few Tesla owners, caught in this whirlwind, have showcased their discontent by slapping on bumper stickers that embarrassingly refer to Nikola Tesla, the historical figure of electric innovation who certainly rolled over in his grave upon realization of these protesters’ ignorance. Perhaps it’s time they traded in their Teslas for a more appropriate vehicle—one that reflects their flair for self-sabotage.
In a bold stroke of support for his friendly billionaire, Trump’s plans to purchase a Tesla demonstrate not just solidarity but also the audacity to stand up against the tidal wave of leftist pettiness. This kind of support for a man crossing into countless sectors—from tech to transportation—is rarely seen from today’s phony liberal elites. However, the White House seemed to size up these plans with an indifferent shrug; after all, who truly cares about a car purchase when the art of government efficiency is at stake? Regardless, Trump intends to go through with his purchase, reminding everyone that one shouldn’t be penalized for leveraging skills to make America great again.
Musk and Trump may be quite the dynamic duo in this era of consternation, but it’s the radical left that may need to reevaluate who, exactly, is working against American progress. After all, attacking Tesla could be less about the car company and more about the man behind the steering wheel—Musk’s endeavor to cut the government and the left’s frantic attempts to stop him. For them, driving into the future just seems to be at odds with their desire to keep the nation tethered to the past.
