Former President Donald Trump gifted his 17-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, a brand new Tesla Cybertruck, estimated to be worth between $81,000 and $100,000. This generous present followed a recent visit by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who brought several electric car models to the White House. The event raised some questions regarding potential conflicts of interest.

Trump, who has publicly supported Musk and Tesla amidst recent difficulties, chose the Cybertruck for his granddaughter after initially considering a Model S, which costs around $80,000. He also reportedly purchased a red Model S for himself. Trump spoke highly of the gift, noting its safety and strength. “I bought it for a very special young lady… She’s a great golfer and she puts the clubs in the back, and I think it’s a very safe deal, she loves it,” he said.
Kai, daughter of Donald Trump Jr., is an avid golfer and showcased her new vehicle on social media from the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate. She is the oldest of Trump’s ten grandchildren. She trains frequently at Trump-owned courses. Kai is also becoming increasingly prominent on social media and is known for her closeness to Elon Musk, whom she considers part of the family.
