I yelled at my phone when I saw this.
He said “oh wow! The whole thing is a computer!” like cars haven’t been like that for YEARS now.
The I go on Facebook for some reason (I am in a rural area) and I am seeing people talking about buying teslas in the local community pages. These people are not people that couldn’t afford a used Mitsubishi Mirage…
Well, it was Goya last time. Now, it’s Tesla. Soon, it will be Campbell’s Soup for all the soup-lines his depression will create.
And that only pushed me to find home recipes for the few Goya products I used to buy… Have not bought anything Goya in 4-5 years
Can’t wait for /r/outoftheloop post asking “trump exposes tesla cars in the white house, what does it mean?”
What even is this timeline
this whole gambit was actually a 4d chess move by elon to brainwash righties into buying EVs therefore solving climate change and bringing about global communism. I never should have doubted you, sir
Next he’ll do the trick where he slams his dick into the car door
How long till a President ends a speech with “smash that like and subscribe for 10% off RAID: Shadow Legends”?
This is an insult to RAID shadow legends. They’re too high quality for this conman to hock them
He is already kind of doing it, just replace Raid Shadow Legends with Russia.
Laugh at those idiots.
The entire French population: “I guess we’re going on a holiday”
Don’t make promises you can’t keep. :(
The French liberating me and the other non-crazy folk would be the best rn.
It’s a hyperbole but the proximity of an autocrat’s palace to a Tesla showroom makes for a compelling spot for some French-style sightseeing.
The Behind the Bastards podcast likens Washington DC to Versailles in a recent episode.
Man can the writers chill? They’ve been doing the most unbelievable shit these past few days
Are there laws in the US about such conflicts of interest or was is basically tradition until this point not to do shit like this?
Because of ethical restraints, it is extremely rare for a senior government official, let alone a sitting president, to endorse a consumer product so explicitly. In 2017, when then-Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway told Americans to buy from Ivanka Trump’s clothing line, she received a warning from a government ethics office and promised never to do it again.
Maybe there is a language barrier, but I didn’t understand if a legal framework is implied by “ethical restraints”. Can one be taken to court for violating an ethical restraint?
Laws are as good as the ability and will to enforce them.
Good point… I guess I’m still curious if there could be a way he gets taken to court for this, but probably now.
when your influence is dying due to your hubris you become desperate and pull something out like this.
President Musk told his employee to do a photoshoot.
This story makes no sense any other way.
He told his orange clown to dance in front of the camera
does trump even drive.
I will bet you the entire nation of Russia that he has no clue how to operate a vehicle other than a matchbox car. zoom zoom
He can’t, former and current presidents aren’t allowed to
I assume he lacks the ability as well
Huh, TIL. Thanks for sharing this info.
I’m not surprised. Didn’t Donald Trump used the Oval Office once to promote some… ketchup or sauce or something, and was paid for? I mean it denigrades the station of the office, but does he really care?
He literally sold the Resolute Desk to Goya for ad space.
This is after he did a Mcdonalds/Dominos ad when he had them cater the NCAA basketball champions’ dinner at the White House.
It’s what he does.
Yes I think this one was the one I saw. It was… Sigh. Disappointing?
Goya beans
Don’t be surprised, each social media influencer has to make a living by promoting shitty products and scams for the affiliate money.

In parallel universes where he wasn’t born of a rich family, Trump is a car salesman. This is our universe trying to find balance.
He hasn’t got the charisma, the financial sense, or trustworthiness to become a used car salesman.
Yet here we are.
But he does have that lack of morality to at least try
