For its part, Tesla has been trying to boost its image with the help of President Trump. On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla's cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.

Somehow, I don't think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.

Imagine the CEO of Browning or American Rifles helping Joe Biden pick out a new gun from a display in the state dining room.

The difference is Biden is a gun owner. So at least it would be buying a product he actually has. There has been incidents referencing him and his wife having at least a shotgun (so 2+ guns)

With Trump hating on electric cars like he had for so long, and not knowing how to drive, it's a bit different.

Old rich guy like Biden probably has loads of nice, quality, antique guns.

Many families don't throw away guns, they pass them down. So antiques are a plenty as well. Being that his dad was born in 1915, it's very likely they have guns from before WW1 around.

You ruined my joke. I was going to say, "Antique guns, bought new."
