In a world where business, politics, and social media are more connected than ever, a public feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has taken an unexpected turn — straight into the auto market.

What started as a war of words on X (formerly Twitter) between the tech billionaire and the former U.S. president quickly made headlines. But what’s truly surprising is how Tesla responded: by launching an aggressive 0% interest financing offer on its Cybertruck — a move seen by many as part business strategy, part statement.

The Deal (in the U.S. and Select Markets)

Tesla is now offering:

• 0% interest for 60 months

• But only if customers choose the Full Self-Driving (FSD) upgrade

• And pay at least 4% down before taxes and fees

• Delivery must happen before the end of June 2025

This offer brings the total price of the AWD Cybertruck (starting at $79,990) down by nearly $7,000 compared to standard financing. It’s also clearly timed to reduce Tesla’s growing Cybertruck inventory — reportedly over 3,500 units waiting to be delivered.

The Bigger Picture: Sales Pressure & Market Moves

Industry watchers believe this campaign isn't just about politics. Tesla has missed internal targets for the Cybertruck, and its stock has recently seen pressure. In fact, this isn’t Tesla’s first 0% offer — a similar deal was announced for the Model 3 earlier this year.

So while Musk takes jabs online, the company is clearly making big moves behind the scenes to shift stock, maintain momentum, and keep Tesla in the global spotlight.
