I hate how people think "news" is just literally every single thing trump or musk does now.
"Rich fuck buys shitty car" is not news.
Anything endorsed by Trump is a scam.
"Donald. I will pay to make you President but you have to give me access to all admin information and buy a car from me." E-Lawn.
Now he needs to drive around in it while we all absolutely pray for the funniest thing in the world to happen.
he isn't allowed to
He isn't allowed to drive himself, but maybe FSD is a loophole?
if only it worked
Isnt that a good thing in this case?
If he's not allowed he's not gonna do it.
"But FSD is safer than human drivers!" - Elon Musk
This car was probably bought using US government money.
It was most definitely bought using your tax money.
No it wasn’t. It was Russian tax money.
$90k is nothing for these people.
You have any clue how much Trump is stealing from tax payers? The dude is making a fortune off being president.
Ever wondered if this tariff yes tariff no spiel is just stock maipulation?
just for a second, now it's canon
That's like an hour of playing gold for him
They're shit cars. Let's please stop pretending they aren't. The build quality is abhorrent.
Yes, they had the cool factor for a while, and yes, I feel sorry for (some of) those who got caught up in something they didn't want to be caught up in. But also, the writing has been on the wall a long time, and build quality issues have been public knowledge for about as long.
You get what you pay for.
You get what you pay for.
At $90K, no you most certainly don't.
My buddy found blue painter’s tape where there was supposed to be wire conduit and screws when he lifted up the carpet on his. You may note that blue painter’s tape is intentionally designed to be temporary and dissolve away after a few weeks, which is much less than the expected lifespan of AN ENTIRE FUCKING CAR.

Hold on.....this could be a good thing....
Hes not gonna drive it.
Most likely bought with taxpayer money.
Russian taxpayer money, yes.
Pay? Why would he pay? Does he ever pay for anything?

Hearing Trump talk about how the car has 'computer' (during the news conference) made me think back to a news event with George H.W. Bush in a supermarket, seeing a grocery barcode scanner for the first time.
Same kind of inquisitive and excited response from both of them.

Trump did a supermarket thing while out doing his disinformation circuit, and the owner guy was trying to explain things to him and you could tell Trump had never grocery shopped and then quickly lost interest and tuned the guy completely out.
The McDonald's fries thing was also amusing when he learned "how fries were made" and that they put them in a basket and not scoop them out by hand lol.
Imagine if everyone in the world would just say "fuck no, I am not cooking for you" and the billionaires would die of starvation because they don't know how to do. Hilarious.

They could have let him learn that the hard way, but no.
Bobbing for fries might sound more like fun to him.

Fucker Carlson shopping in Moscow can be put there too since he is another head of the MAGA hydra.
