Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47th President/ Musk Coup
There was a Tesla stunt at the White House today. As stock prices slump there were several vehicles pulled up in front for Trump to try out, he is supposedly going to buy one. Musk handed him notes about the prices and features. Daily Beast.
Donald Trump was quite literally handed a scripted sales pitch by Elon Musk during his Tesla-buying stunt Tuesday, part of a desperate attempt to boost the flagging electric car manufacturer as angry customers revolt against the CEO’s involvement in a chaotic restructuring of the federal government.

Photographers captured Trump holding note cards that listed the price and specs of each car in bullet points as he inspected a series of Teslas that had been brought to the White House.

But the president admitted they weren’t his own words.

“They gave me notes,” he said, fumbling with the papers as he prepared to get into one of the cars.

Photos of the document show phrases like “SAFEST car,” “state of the art,” and “affordable”—lines Musk apparently wanted Trump to use in his pitch.
