President Trump transformed the South Lawn of the White House into an impromptu Tesla showroom.
He praised the company's Cybertruck, expressed interest in purchasing a Tesla, and provided a high-profile endorsement for the struggling automaker.
The endorsement raised ethical concerns and resulted in a slight recovery of Tesla's stock.
The event highlighted the contrast between Trump's approach and that of the Biden administration, while solidifying Musk's role in Trump's administration.
