Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Except his cult is made up of trailer park dwellers that elected him because they couldn't afford the $100 it takes to fill up their 2004 RAM 3500. Those people aren't buying Teslas which is why their stock is down 50% since the beginning of the year.
Stock price isn't based on what people are buying, it's based on what people think the value of the company is.
If the president endorses a product, the market as a whole values the company that makes said product more.
Case in point, Tesla stock is up over $8 since Trump's announcement.
It may not be directly related to people buying as in someone buying a Tesla won't ratchet up the share price that day, but sales absolutely do affect a company's value once the quarterly reports come out. What people speculate it's worth doesn't really matter if they're not making any money currently and not expected to in the foreseeable future.
I don't think Trumps endorsement is really worth anything to Tesla unless he plans on sinking a ton of taxpayer dollars into them. The price is now up $11 but can just as easily drop back down as the only people being swayed by the president's statements are his sycophants.
Your comment makes it seem that you haven’t spent much time in the suburban south near any mega churches.
Those who haven’t already will gladly trade in their Escalades and Cayennes for a Model X if their pastor tells them to.
