Fox News host Sean Hannity recently demonstrated his support for Tesla CEO Elon Musk by purchasing a Tesla Model S Plaid, a high-performance electric vehicle boasting over 1,000 horsepower and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.0 seconds. Hannity shared his purchase on social media, stating, “As promised yesterday, I just ordered my new self-driving Tesla! Over 1000HP, 0-60 in 2.0 seconds!”
This move aligns with Hannity’s vocal support for Musk amid recent challenges. In a segment on his show, Hannity criticized the negative attention directed at Musk and praised President Donald Trump’s support for the Tesla CEO. Hannity remarked, “I don’t believe in cancellation. I don’t believe in cancel culture… after I drove my friend’s Tesla, I went, and I’ve already picked out the one I want.”
Hannity’s endorsement follows President Trump’s public show of support for Musk, including plans to purchase a Tesla vehicle. These actions come amid political tensions surrounding Musk’s business decisions and his association with the current administration. Analysts suggest that such high-profile endorsements may influence public perception and the political discourse surrounding Tesla and Musk.
