Trump tells Musk not everybody should have an electric car

Donald Trump told Elon Musk he “made a great product” with his Teslas but that “doesn’t mean everybody should have an electric car”.

“You do make a great product. I have to say, I have to be honest, that doesn’t mean everybody should have an electric car but these are minor details but your product is incredible,” Trump said to Musk.

He then said a Trump government would “drill baby drill” to bring down the cost of energy for petrol and household heating and cooling bills.

Musk attempted to interrupt Trump but did not directly respond to his Tesla comments, instead, he changed the topic back to the economy, inflation and “government overspending”.
