WASHINGTON.- President Donald Trump staged his support for his ally Elon Musk, climbing in the White House to a car manufactured by Tesla, a company owned by the technological tycoon that has suffered strong falls in the stock market in recent weeks.
“I think it has been treated very unfairly by a very small group of people. And I just want people to know that they cannot be penalized for being a patriot, ”the president told Musk to the media.
The Tesla CEO invested more than 200 million dollars in the presidential campaign and was appointed by Trump to lead a controversial and radical reform in the federal government.

In front of the South Portico of the White House, five different models of Tesla cars that Trump inspected in the company of the CEO of Spacex, who went to the appointment with his little son X, were deployed today before the press.
Trump approached the vehicles and climbed one of them, a red S model, with Musk, to whom he thanked his patriotism and his role in front of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), which he leads since January.

Tesla clients have shown on social networks their opposition to Musk and their work at the head of Doge, an agency that has decreed thousands of layoffs and closing in federal entities, and some have come to sell or exchange their vehicle for another of another brand.
