Yes. That was the goal, the God-King ordering the masses to buy Tesla.

50 years ago, the president advertising a product probably would have lead to investigations

Now it barely makes the evening news.

This is basically what killed South Park in 2016. Trump became president and you can't even parody that, because You can't think of anything more absurd. Except maybe electing him for a second time.

Americans Celebrate Having One Regular Day, Say It’s “Exactly What They Needed”

New York, NY — In an unprecedented turn of events, Americans across the country are celebrating what they are calling “the most normal, regular day in recent memory,” marking a significant break from the chaotic, unpredictable rollercoaster of modern life.

“It’s honestly been a while since I’ve had a day like this,” said Karen Thompson, 42, of Dayton, Ohio, who reported that her Tuesday included nothing more than answering a few emails, picking up groceries, and getting a slightly-too-hot coffee at her local Starbucks. “I didn’t get any bad news. No surprise work projects. I even made it through traffic without being rear-ended by a guy in a Dodge Ram. It was a good day. I’m feeling rejuvenated.”

In cities from coast to coast, Americans woke up to the kind of day they hadn’t experienced in months: no major scandals, no worldwide crises, no seismic shifts in public opinion. For once, the news cycle wasn’t dominated by geopolitical unrest or trending hashtags. In fact, the only noteworthy event was that the Wi-Fi went out for about 15 minutes — and even then, no one freaked out.

“I haven’t had a day this uneventful since... I don’t even remember,” said Jack Morris, 29, from Austin, Texas. “I didn’t even get an email with ‘urgent’ in the subject line. I was able to enjoy lunch without my coworker telling me they’ve started a podcast. It was just me and my turkey sandwich, and honestly, it was great.”

At a press conference held to commemorate the event, a spokesperson for the National Association of Regular Days (NARD) explained that the organization was “thrilled” to see this rare occurrence of calm, adding that they hope it signals the beginning of a new era of moderation.

“The public has long been craving a moment to just breathe,” the spokesperson said. “We’re seeing a nationwide trend of people taking an actual break from the chaotic ‘always on’ mentality. It’s almost as if they’re starting to realize... hey, maybe a day of normalcy isn’t so bad after all.”

While some have expressed concerns that this "regular day" could be the result of a political conspiracy or an alien invasion disguised as mundane life, the overall mood across the nation remains overwhelmingly positive. Social media has been flooded with #OneRegularDay memes, with people praising the "non-urgent vibe" of the day.

“It’s been great,” said social media influencer Mia Stewart, 23. “No pressure to be perfect, no need to overshare every moment of my life — just a regular day. So glad we could all experience it together. Honestly, I think I might do it again tomorrow.”

At press time, the news cycle had already shifted back to unpredictable chaos, but Americans remained hopeful that a few more normal days might be just around the corner.

Honestly, every time I see an SNL skit recently that mimics one of the latest events I keep saying this is sad because as crazy as they get, I feel like the real event was so much crazier. The skits just make me sad because I'm just being reminded of how fucked we are.

He will wear the costume when his war against democracy is over.

SAD.

Title of his memoirs.

Stopped eating Goya products because of this.

He seriously was being a car salesman. A photographer got a shot of his taking points.

It definitely won't help. "The most unlikable person on earth being associated with our brand is tanking our stocks, what do we do? I know, well ask the second most unlikable person on earth to help."

Maybe this is secretly how they save the environment. Coal rollers switching to EVs. And Putin launching the nukes causing a nuclear winter. Global warming solved.

hes wearing lifts.

It's not about the environmental aspect of the car for them, it's just another luxury sports vehicle to the buyers this is pitched at. Its fast, expensive and a desirable brand is all they care about, being electric is just a 'cool quirk' of it.

Were the brand to become really toxic and widely unlikeable by the general public then even the wealthy vapid types would be turned off it. Let's hope we can get the momentum there, as the only buyers left would be the pro-EV MAGAs with money, and I very much doubt that's a large enough demographic to keep Tesla afloat.

Enough to retire for about a week.

The cool thing about being a trillionaire is that you can fall a long, long, long way and still be the richest man in the country.

Doubly so if you drag everyone else down with you.
