Commerce Secretary Urges Fox News Viewers To Buy Tesla Stock: 'Elon Musk Is Probably the Best Person To Bet On!' [View all]
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged Fox News viewers to buy Tesla stock, calling CEO Elon Musk “probably the best person to bet on” he had ever met. Lutnick offered the investment advice on Wednesday’s episode of Jesse Watters Primetime after host Jesse Watters had delivered a long monologue criticizing the vandalism of Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations, and protests directed at the company and Musk over his support for far-right politics and wide-ranging budget cuts and layoffs that were happening as part of DOGE’s efforts to reshape the federal government.
Watters introduced Lutnick and asked him, “How are you interpreting firebombing Teslas?” “This is so outrageous,” replied Lutnick. “You probably have the best entrepreneur, the best technologist, best leader of any set of companies in America, working for America, and you have this sort of weird side of the Democratic Party attacking him.”
“Let me remind you, he is the guy that saved the astronauts, saved the astronauts and he’s the guy who’s going to build the next generation technology,” Lutnick added, presumably referring to NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, who returned to Earth Tuesday after a nine-month delay on the International Space Station. Williams and Wilmore’s extra time on the ISS and return has been the subject of a surfeit of misinformation from Musk and the White House, including false claims that President Joe Biden “stranded” them.
“I think if you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla!” Lutnick continued. “It’s unbelievable that this guy’s stock is this cheap, it’ll never be this cheap again. When people understand the things he’s building, the robots he’s building, the technology he’s building — people will be dreaming of today and Jesse Watters and thinking, ‘gosh, I should have bought Elon Musk’s stock!’ I mean, who wouldn’t invest in Elon Musk? You gotta be kidding.” “Alright, so you’re calling the bottom? This is it?” asked Watters.
