During his Mar-a-Lago livestream on August 5, 2024, Adin Ross gave Donald Trump a Tesla Cybertruck that he had custom-wrapped with a photo from last month's Pennsylvania rally shooting. The former US president seemed quite pleased with the gift.
Towards the end of the broadcast, Ross led Trump outdoors to show him the Tesla Cybertruck. Upon seeing it, Trump seemed surprised and called the vehicle beautiful. He also invoked the name of Elon Musk, who also reacted to the Cybertruck on X. The politician said:
"Wow, that's an Elon. Wow. That's beautiful, that is beautiful."
Ross drew Trump's attention to the custom wrap that he had made, asking the GOP Presidential nominee about his thoughts on it:

"Check out this wrap and let me know your honest thoughts."
Trump replied:
"I think it's incredible. I think it's incredible."
Donald Trump bashes EVs before Adin Ross gifts him a Tesla Cybertruck
Photos of the Adin Ross' custom-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck had leaked a couple of days ago. Since the big stream with Donald Trump was announced, many connected the dots and predicted that Ross must have had it made for the special occasion.
While Trump appeared quite happy with the custom-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck, the former US President was bashing EVs and all-electric cars just minutes before.

At the one-hour, seven-minute mark of the livestream, Donald Trump talked about the power consumption of the US and how he was going to build more power plants if elected. He also criticized the present authorities for building chargers for cars in the Mid-West, claiming that there should not be fully electric vehicles:
"In the meantime, they built eight Chargers in the Middle West for cars. Because we shouldn't have, obviously, all electric you know they have this electric car mandate? And they don't go far they cost a lot."
The politician also criticized EVs for their need to recharge on long trips, stating:
"You can drive a car from here(Florida) to Los Angeles on a tank of gas. Same thing with trucks, they want trucks to go electric. They'd have to make six stops to get to Los Angeles. With diesel they don't have to make any stops."
Nevertheless, Donald Trump seemed to have fun inside the Tesla Cybertruck that Adin Ross got for him. Towards the end of the broadcast, the streamer and the former US President were seen hanging out inside the all-electric truck, listening to some tunes.
The Tesla Cybertruck was not the only gift that Adin Ross had for Donald Trump. The content creator also presented him with a Rolex watch a few minutes before. Twitch political commentator HasanAbi called out this action while watching the Kick stream.
