Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, praising Elon Musk as “the best person to bet on.”
Speaking on Jesse Watters Primetime, Lutnick defended Musk amid vandalism protests linked to Musk’s support for far-right politics and federal budget cuts.
He claimed Musk’s innovations, including robots and space technology, make Tesla stock undervalued.
Lutnick’s comments sparked criticism over potential legal and ethical conflicts, as government officials promoting individual stocks may violate ethics regulations.
My desires are not bound by mere current market climates. I just wanna like Teslas, man. They got a cool name and they used to be cool cars. Surely you’ve something from your past life experience that is no longer in-fashion or top-of-the-line that you’d like to see revived. Micromachines Megavan City, perhaps? Or maybe you were more of a Polly Pocket child? This is no different.
