President Donald Trump says he'll buy a Tesla to show support for his adviser Elon Musk, who faces escalating political blowback and financial troubles. It's the latest and most unusual example of how the Republican president is backing his most powerful adviser. Trump made the announcement early Tuesday, calling Musk “a truly great American."

The White House hasn't elaborated on Trump's plans for buying the vehicle. Tesla is facing sagging sales and plunging stock prices as Musk dedicates himself to overhauling and downsizing the federal government as part of Trump's administration. Musk continues to run the automaker, the social media platform X and the rocket manufacturer SpaceX.
