After President Trump promised to buy a Tesla on Tuesday morning to support Elon Musk while the company’s actions collapsed, the White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said the car was heading to the White House now.
“It will see a Tesla who is arriving at the White House complex now, I can confirm,” Leavitt told journalists.
She added: “She will definitely buy one, but she will take a look when she arrives here later this afternoon.”

The White House Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, speaks during the daily informative session in the Brady Information Hall of the White House in Washington, on March 11, 2025.
