Trump Sells His Red Tesla: A Symbolic Move?

Former President Donald Trump is selling his red Tesla Model S for $80,000, according to a report in the New York Times. The news comes as a surprise, given Trump's past public support for Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk. A spokesperson for the former president confirmed the sale, stating that 'the car is being sold as part of a broader effort to streamline assets.' The red Tesla, purchased by Trump in March of last year, was seen as a symbol of his endorsement of the electric vehicle company. In a brief video statement, Trump said, "It's a great car, but I'm moving on to other things." The sale of the vehicle marks a shift in Trump's relationship with Tesla, and raises questions about his future business ventures.
