• Trump will not sell his red Tesla Model S purchased from Musk.
• He plans to "move" the Tesla around but keep Starlink for its benefits.
• The tensions arose after Musk criticized Trump's policies and made allegations.

In a recent press briefing, President Donald Trump confirmed he would keep the red Tesla Model S he purchased from Elon Musk, dismissing rumors of selling the vehicle amid their ongoing feud. When asked about the future of the Tesla, Trump stated, "No, I may move it around a little bit," emphasizing that while he might relocate the car, he has no intention of parting with it or the Starlink satellite system, which he called a "great service," according to Indiatimes and HuffPost.

Trump's comments came after considerable public tension following Musk's critique of Trump's legislative agenda, particularly the "One Big Beautiful Bill." The president has hinted at moving the Tesla to one of his personal properties, suggesting he has "a lot of locations" he could use for the vehicle. This was in the context of their fallout, during which Musk accused Trump of being tied to controversial figures, according to Newsweek and Business Insider.

The relationship between Trump and Musk has soured, with Musk previously calling Trump's legislation "a disgusting abomination" and warning of its impact on federal spending. Despite these tensions, Trump expressed that Tesla remains a "great American company" while acknowledging recent difficulties the company has faced. This fallout follows Musk's public claims that Trump owes his 2024 election success to him, igniting further discord between the two, according to Indiatimes and Newsweek.
