  • A pressure campaign targeting Trump's wealthy political patron is conspiratorial and against the law, the president told his supporters, despite boycotts falling under the domain of free speech.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's reaction to a Tesla boycott initiated by some of his supporters. Trump declared the boycott "illegal" and expressed his intention to purchase a new Tesla car from Elon Musk as a show of solidarity. This statement comes amidst tensions between Trump and Musk, with Trump previously criticizing Musk for not supporting his 2024 presidential campaign.

This move by Trump could be seen as an attempt to mend fences with Musk, who has significant influence in the tech and automotive industries.
