Trump Supports Musk Amid Tesla Boycott Protests

U.S. President Donald Trump has shown support for Elon Musk amid ongoing protests against Tesla in the U.S. Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) established by Trump, has faced opposition due to recent decisions to cut government spending and lay off employees. Despite this, Trump announced on his X platform that he would buy a new Tesla to back Musk, praising him as a "great American" and questioning why anyone would oppose someone helping to "make America great again." Musk thanked Trump for his support.

Trump’s administration has seen significant changes under Musk's guidance, including attempts to reduce government spending, implement tariffs, and cut federal jobs. These decisions have drawn criticism, particularly affecting Tesla’s sales, but Trump continues to stand by Musk in these challenging times.
