Cybertruck joins President-elect Trump’s motorcade in Texas

Elon Musk’s lips are firmly planted on President Trump’s hip, so it’s no surprise that a Tesla Cybertruck was recently spotted in the newly elected commander-in-chief’s motorcade Strange. While it’s unclear who was inside the vehicle, the vehicle was part of a convoy transporting the president-elect to a SpaceX launch in Texas earlier this week.

As you can see in the videos posted on social media, the angular pickup truck stands out in a sea of ​​black Chevrolet Tahoes or Suburbans. They were also joined by a black Ford F-150, which may be a police responder variant.

In addition to the motorcade, Trump and his new friends were in Texas watching the testing of the Starship rocket. The launch, which took place on November 19 at Starbase, was designed to “expand the range of ship and booster capabilities and further enable online reuse of the entire system.”

SpaceX went on to say that “the Super Heavy booster successfully lifted off at the beginning of the launch window, with all 33 Raptor engines powering it, and Starship took off from Starbase.” However, things took a turn and an “automatic health check” triggered The innovative capture maneuver was aborted and the booster was transferred to the Gulf of Mexico for splashdown. Despite the minor misstep, the company considered the test a success and said it provided “valuable feedback.”

The relationship between Trump and Musk was on full display in recent weeks when the president-elect appointed the Tesla CEO as co-director of the Department of Government Effectiveness. Things were going so well when Musk destroyed Twitter, which was tasked with slashing spending.
