A man named Elon Musk, who makes electric cars, wants to be friends with the president of the United States. He likes Donald Trump but also doesn't like some things about him. He also doesn't like some things about a lady named Kamala Harris, who might become the president if Trump doesn't win.

Some other people who make cars and trucks don't like electric cars, and they want the president to make it harder for Elon Musk's company, Tesla, to sell their cars.

A man named Pete Buttigieg, who is friends with Kamala Harris, really likes electric cars and wants to help make more of them in America. He thinks other countries, like China, make too many electric cars and sell them to other countries.

So, Elon Musk wants to be friends with both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, but he also wants to change some things about them so they will help his company, Tesla, more. He hopes that if he helps them, they will help him too. Read from source...

- Trump's EV stance is softening, which could benefit Tesla
- Musk's public endorsement of Trump might help Tesla's EV policy influence
- Harris' VP choice, Buttigieg, could be beneficial for Tesla due to his pro-EV stance and domestic manufacturing support
- Harris and Biden's EV policies are unclear, but they might be more favorable to Tesla than Trump's

The article is mostly informative and provides some analysis, but it lacks a clear conclusion or recommendation for investors. The headline is misleading, as it suggests that the expert thinks Musk can influence Trump's EV stance, while the article later states that Trump's EV stance is softening. The article also does not explain why Musk's endorsement of Trump matters for Tesla's EV policy influence, or how Harris and Biden's EV policies would impact Tesla.
