Megan Casella called out the "extraordinary moment" in which President Donald Trump's administration rallied a "whole-of-government approach to shore up Tesla."
The article from MSN discusses a surprising moment on CNBC where a reporter expressed astonishment at former President Donald Trump's administration taking a "whole-of-government approach" to support Tesla, a company often at odds with Trump's public statements. This approach included actions like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under Trump's administration approving Tesla's electric vehicles for a significant tax credit, and the Department of Energy providing loans to the company. The reporter highlighted the irony, given Trump's frequent criticism of electric vehicles and renewable energy initiatives. This unexpected support was seen as part of a broader strategy to bolster American manufacturing and innovation, even if it meant backing a company whose CEO, Elon Musk, had publicly clashed with Trump on various issues.
