Trump’s reaction to getting into his newly purchased Tesla is sending the internet into a frenzy.
The US president gave a three word response when he climbed into the Tesla Model S and it has stirred a huge reaction on social media.
Alongside his ‘first buddy’ Elon Musk at the White House yesterday, Trump was surprised by the tech available inside the electric vehicle.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Trump said: “Wow… everything’s computer.”
This caused a big response online, with many viewers taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share their reactions.
One user wrote: “Just figuring that out, huh?”
Another said: “Lmaoo Elon keeps asking him to take it for a drive when Trump’s probably not had to drive a car in decades.”
A third person joked: “It’s Tesler now... Get it right!”
A fourth commented: “Hey totally normal to do a car ad with the President in front of the White House. Nothing to see here America. Everything is just as the founders hoped it’d be.”
And a fifth user added: “An advert for a Tesla, by a man who isn't allowed to drive.”
The president of the United States is technically not allowed to drive and is instead chauffeured to wherever he needs to go.
This is for security reasons and former presidents along with the incumbent president are expected to use their appointed secret service team to handle their travel.
So, it’s not clear what Trump exactly plans to do with his brand new Tesla seeing as he probably won’t be getting much driving done in it.
On Truth Social, the president previously wrote: “To Republicans, Conservatives, and all great Americans, Elon Musk is ‘putting it on the line’ in order to help our Nation, and he is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!
“But the Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for.”
Trump went on to write: “In any event, I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a show of confidence and support for Elon Musk, a truly great American.
“Why should he be punished for putting his tremendous skills to work in order to help MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN???”
And Trump doesn’t appear to be concerned about Tesla’s declining market.
He said: “Markets are going to go up and they're going to go down but, you know what, we have to rebuild our country.”
