CNN — As President Donald Trump’s advisers this week took on the unenviable task of informing him a journalist he loathes was inadvertently added to a group chat discussing secret attack plans, one key detail required some further explanation.

New York CNN — Just this week, Tesla boasted as anxieties swirled over tariffs on automobiles. “Btw, Teslas are the most American-made cars,” the official Tesla account posted on X on Sunday.
