Donald Trump's recent live-action Tesla advertisement with Elon Musk on the White House grounds exemplifies an uninspired marketing approach. Trump, in a theatrical display, examined various Tesla models and praised them lacking genuine enthusiasm, while using notes to engage with the audience. This collaboration, perceived as an attempt to boost Tesla's sales, raises concerns about the ethical implications of a president endorsing commercial products, marking a dystopian evolution in influencer marketing where the presidency intersects with celebrity endorsement.
"In a wholly dystopian display, Mr Trump was seen perusing a number of Tesla models, praising the designs with all the authenticity of a greasy salesman before settling on what he called a 'beautiful' red Model S."
"Witnessing a presidential figure advertising a commercial product is rare due to ethical constraints, yet Trump's unabashed endorsement proves he's unafraid to toe the line between celebrity and Head of State."
