Trump says he has 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles because Elon Musk 'endorsed me very strongly'
Briefly

Former President Donald Trump said he had 'no choice' but to support electric vehicles after Tesla CEO Elon Musk 'endorsed' him. Musk has long been a champion of the pivot to electric vehicles.
Musk bought Twitter in 2022, rebranded it to X, and has dismantled many of the checks and balances meant to limit hateful speech and misinformation on the platform. Musk has publicly supported Trump since the assassination attempt last month.
At a rally in Georgia, Trump expressed support for electric cars due to Musk's endorsement but clarified it as only a 'small slice' of the broader auto industry.
Trump has criticized Biden's electric vehicle regulations, opposing the plan to increase electric vehicle sales to half of all new vehicle sales by 2030, making it hard for gas-powered cars to meet EPA standards.
