President Donald Trump bought a Tesla on Tuesday.
Speaking at the White House as he picked out the vehicle he wanted to buy, Trump said he was celebrating Elon Musk for his work within his administration through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Trump also announced that he will classify violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism.
"I will do that. I'm going to stop them," Trump said. "Because they are harming a great American company."
