US donald trump elon musk Tesla
Elon Musk trying to explain to Trump how a Tesla works is surely the most bizarre thing you’ll watch today
As you’ll know by now, Donald Trump took time out from tanking the US economy to help Elon Musk shift a few Teslas by turning the White House into a parking lot.
And quite the sight it was too.

There was no end of eye-opening moments – not least Trump and his ‘Everything’s computer!’ – and we return to it because it got even better when the President tried to drive one.
Trump was first of all keen to tell everyone that he hadn’t driven a car for as long as he can remember, which might not be saying much to be fair.
Trump: I’m not allowed to drive because I haven’t driven a car in a long time. I love to drive cars. But I’m going to have it at The White House and I’m going to let my staff use it. I’m not allowed to use it pic.twitter.com/75aKIJa6yR

Leaving aside the revelation that while he has access to all the nuclear codes he can’t be trusted to get behind a steering wheel, Trump nevertheless girded his loins (don’t go there) and got in the front seat anyway.
And listening to Musk try to explain how it works is quite the watch.

Self evidently nonsense. You’re not forbidden from driving because you haven’t “driven a car in a long time.” You’re not allowed to drive because of mental or physical impairment. #Trump https://t.co/mx1YD24UYR

They’ve both got the mental capacity of a 5 year old… apparently
