Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Elon Musk — who is worth an estimated $320 billion — has been “treated very unfairly” as the president promoted Tesla vehicles from the White House’s south lawn and committed to buying one of the cars himself.
“I’m going to buy because number one, it’s a great product. As good as it gets. Number two, because [Elon Musk] has devoted his energy and his life to doing this, and I think he has been treated unfairly,” Trump told reporters outside the White House Tuesday afternoon.
