Yes, Tesla CEO Elon Musk spent considerable effort (and money) helping to elect Trump, becoming a sort of direct advisor to the president elect in the process. That might buy him some influence in a second Trump administration (and seemingly already has) but it's Trump's proposals for the regulatory environment surrounding vehicles and AI — most of which were registered before Musk's campaign involvement — that stand to help his new buddy Elon's car company.
The article from USA Today discusses the potential benefits for Tesla if Donald Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election. It highlights that Trump's previous term saw policies favorable to the automotive industry, particularly in terms of deregulation and tax cuts. During his presidency, Trump rolled back several environmental regulations, which could benefit Tesla by reducing compliance costs and speeding up production processes. Additionally, Trump's focus on American manufacturing could lead to more incentives for domestic production, potentially boosting Tesla's operations in the U.S. The article also mentions Trump's past support for electric vehicles (EVs) despite his general preference for traditional automotive industries, suggesting that Tesla might continue to receive federal support for EV infrastructure. However, it notes that Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, has had a complex relationship with Trump, which could influence business dynamics. Overall, the piece speculates on how Trump's policies might align with Tesla's interests in terms of regulatory environment, tax benefits, and market conditions.
