This looks like an SNL sketch. People keep expressing sympathy for the onion writers, but really, how does one even parody this? Just shot for shot, word for word something a satirist would come up with.
50 years ago, the president advertising a product probably would have lead to investigations
Now it barely makes the evening news.
Heck, no need to go back 50 years. If Biden did it there’d be backlash. Trump was right about being able to shoot someone and not losing supporters.
I remember they were ready to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit.
These guys and suits… and of course musk can wear his t-shirt and no one says shit.
Oh, but Vance had a lot to say about Zelenskyy not dressing up in the WH. Buncha dorks. 😂
I read that as Vsauce and wondered what happened to Michael.

It did, but he got the VP nom anyway. And he went on to fundamentally reshape the Republican Party over the next twenty five years.
This is basically what killed South Park in 2016. Trump became president and you can’t even parody that, because You can’t think of anything more absurd. Except maybe electing him for a second time.
This looks like an SNL sketch.
Ohh, I kept waiting for something funny to happen, but now I get it - it won’t.
:DI figure The Onion just has to full on go the opposite direction.
-Trump Returns Funds to Ukraine: Turns Back on Russia.
-Functioning Government Returns to the United States
-Democrats Embrace The Left
Headlines no one could believe and stories about things basically working like they should.
It’s not like it’s a surprise. Remember how he did a photoshoot with a can of beans, because the owner of the brand said he liked him?
Stopped eating Goya products because of this.
Same. Haven’t bought anything Goya since. Once i looked into them it was clear i probably should have stopped long before they endorsed trump but better late than never
our bougie grocery chain stopped carrying this after he did this.
No. What?
I had thought this was a photoshop. WTH.
its not, you can see the hands are very small
Is it required for him to look evil?
Is that a can of eggs?
I think it’s coconut
Oh. I thought maybe they had canned ones now.
There are pickled eggs, so maybe?
Literal used car salesman as president. 🤦♂️
Americans electing a used car dealer to the Presidency is, frankly, the fate we deserved.
Heh, Trump reeks of used car salesman energy.
He seriously was bring a car salesman. A photographer got a shot of his taking points.
Do these idiots not realize that it’s Tesla’s association with nazis that’s killing sales? How did they think this was going to help, Republicans are suddenly going to start buying electric vehicles?
Yes. That was the goal, the God-King ordering the masses to buy Tesla.
Personally I don’t see the countryside maga folk buying EVs.
Tesla sales are tanking because of Elon’s embracing fascism and this is the best they could come up with to fix it
Just lean harder into it and hope the guy who hates electric cars can sell electric cars
It’s insane that both of them think this will help…
They truly don’t understand that the vast majority of Americans fucking hate them. And the ones that do like one of them, already like both.
Zero people will have any change of opinion because of this.
Dementia and Ketamine have some adverse effects together
They literally just notified 32% of the Department of Education last night that they were being fired.
Fuck these assholes and anyone who voted for them can fucking drop dead.
The richest man on Earth for now
The cool thing about being a trillionaire is that you can fall a long, long, long way and still be the richest man in the country.
Doubly so if you drag everyone else down with you.
It has to be bad if they resort to trying to sell EVs to climate change deniers.
Maybe this is secretly how they save the environment. Coal rollers switching to EVs. And Putin launching the nukes causing a nuclear winter. Global warming solved.
Trump: slaps roof
Tesla: combusts
Why isn’t Elon wearing a suit?
He will wear the costume when his war against democracy is over.
I remember the last time an EV was parked up outside the white house. That went really well for everyone. /s

Please let this sink the stock even more.
It definitely won’t help. “The most unlikable person on earth being associated with our brand is tanking our stocks, what do we do? I know, well ask the second most unlikable person on earth to help.”
One of the only times I’d put Trump at #1, because he’s just such a #2.
Yeah…I fully predict there will be a TARP bailout for Tesla.
This gives me major late night car dealer commercial vibes. My English to Trump is terrible however I have faith that someone write Trump doing the narration for this commercial.
