Former President Donald Trump has made alarming statements about electric vehicles, labeling them as threats to the auto industry and even using violent rhetoric, such as saying they will 'kill' America's auto industry. He has also targeted electric car supporters, referring to them as 'thugs' and expressing a desire for their misfortune.
Despite his strong stance against electric vehicles, Trump seemed to soften his rhetoric after a significant financial commitment from Tesla's Elon Musk, who reportedly offered a $180 million donation. This move indicates a potential shift in Trump's approach to EV policies.
The article also notes a political shift in Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, who has reportedly been contributing significantly to political campaigns, including offering donations directly to Trump. This involvement seems to have influenced Trump to reconsider his anti-EV stance.
