President Donald Trump held a promotional event for Tesla at the White House. Elon Musk accompanied him and the two essentially provided a sales pitch about the automaker. Their efforts led to a slight bump in Tesla stock price after an abysmal few months.

Tesla's stock price has dropped more than 40% since President Trump took office and Elon stepped into his role at the Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE (though it has seen a bounce back after this event). There have also recently been protests at Tesla dealerships, and Teslas have been vandalized and burned.
