CNN described the press conference as 'quite dramatic,' with Trump holding a TSL vehicle price list and announcing on the spot his full payment purchase, calling Musk a 'patriot' and believing Musk is unfairly attacked for cutting government spending. Trump: Attacks on TSL dealers equivalent to terrorism Not only publicly supporting Musk, Trump also announced that any violent actions against TSL dealers or vehicles will be classified as 'domestic terrorism.' He emphasized: If anyone does this, they will pay the price. This statement not only shows support for TSL, but further binds the interests of Trump and Musk. It is interpreted by the outside world that in the future, the US government's policies in the electric car industry will lean towards supporting TSL rather than traditional car manufacturers.

It will be fine long-term — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 10, 2025 Trump's major shift in attitude towards electric cars? Trump has repeatedly criticized electric car policies in the past, even threatening to cancel electric car subsidies to revive the US gasoline car market. However, his personal purchase of TSL now raises questions about his future policy direction. Experts analyze that Trump values 'relationships and interests' more than political commitments. This also means that Musk's influence in the Trump administration may further increase. TSL's autopilot technology, charging station subsidy programs, and even regulations related to cryptocurrency payments may receive more Favourable Information policies due to Trump's changing attitude. TSL previously accepted BTC (BTC) and DOGE for vehicle and accessory purchases, but later canceled due to regulatory issues. If Musk gains more influence in the Trump administration, reopening cryptocurrency payments at TSL in the future and even promoting looser regulatory policies may no longer be a fantasy.
