Trump Severs Ties with Tesla: Plans to Sell or Give Away Musk’s Car Amid Growing Feud
The feud between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk escalated sharply this week, with Trump now reportedly ready to part ways with the car that symbolized a once-curious alliance between the two titans.
According to multiple reports, including from FOX News’ Peter Doocy, President Trump is planning to either give away or sell the red Tesla he personally purchased from Musk—making a bold, symbolic statement as tensions between the two powerhouses intensify.
Earlier reporting from Kristinn Taylor at The Gateway Pundit revealed that White House aides attempted to arrange a reconciliation call between Trump and Musk. But Trump rejected the overture, allegedly stating he was “not interested” in speaking to Musk at this time.
“The Tesla is still sitting there,” Doocy told viewers Friday morning. “The red Tesla with Florida tags is either going to be given away or sold off.” The statement sparked a wave of speculation across media and social platforms, as many interpret the move as a public break with Musk—who has recently taken stances that diverge from the America First movement.
As the FOX News morning panel echoed Doocy’s reporting, it became clear that Trump’s rejection of both the phone call and the car is no minor gesture. It’s a message: MAGA no longer views Musk as a trusted ally.
What began as a clash of opinions has now snowballed into a highly visible political and cultural moment—with one red Tesla caught in the middle.
