US President Donald Trump has dismissed rumours that he plans to sell or give away his red Tesla Model S, saying he might simply “move it around” to a different location instead.Speaking at a White House press briefing on Monday (local time), Trump was asked if he intended to part with the high-profile electric vehicle he purchased on March 11. “Are you going to get rid of your Tesla?” a reporter asked.“No, I may move it around a little bit,” Trump responded.When pressed on where the car might be relocated, Trump responded cryptically, “I have a lot of locations.”The car, which the US President bought on March 11 during a public show was in support for Elon Musk.The high-end Model S, estimated to cost over $100,000, is currently parked in the White House lot for staff use, as the president himself is not allowed to drive under security regulations.Trump also clarified he has no plans to discontinue Musk’s satellite internet venture, Starlink, calling it a “great service.”When asked if he plans to speak with Elon Musk soon, Trump said, “If I were him, I would want to speak to me. Maybe he’s already called. You’d have to ask him.”Relations between the two men have soured in recent weeks after Musk sharply criticised Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it an “abomination” over concerns it would explode the federal deficit.In response, Trump threatened to revoke Musk’s government contracts, prompting Musk to warn that SpaceX could pull its Dragon program in retaliation.Despite the tensions, Trump’s Tesla, originally intended as a symbolic stand against left-wing attacks on Musk’s ventures, remains a visible gesture of support in the White House driveway.
