Kai Trump's Ride Swap: From Cybertruck to Escalade

USA, MiamiFri Aug 15 2025

Kai Trump, the 17-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr., has made a noticeable switch in her vehicle of choice.

From Cybertruck to Escalade

  • Tesla Cybertruck: A gift from her grandfather, former President Donald Trump.
  • Cadillac Escalade: Now seen with the University of Miami's logo and colors.

Public Fallout and Social Media Shift

  • Instagram Posts: Kai shared pictures with the Cybertruck, calling it her “Cyberbeast.”
  • No Mention of Musk: Since the rift between Musk and Trump, no updates about Musk on her social media.
  • Upcoming College Life: Features the Escalade, hinting at her plans to play golf at the University of Miami.

Bigger Implications

  • Tesla's Tough Year: Due to Musk's public feuds and political stances.
  • Shift in Alliances: Musk has gone from a Trump ally to considering a new political party.
  • Distancing from Musk's Brand: Even those close to Trump are distancing themselves.

A Reminder of Changing Alliances

Kai's switch is part of a larger pattern. Tesla's popularity has taken a hit, and alliances in politics and business can change quickly.

questions

    Did the Cybertruck's polarizing design make Kai feel like she was driving a giant toaster, or was it just not 'orange and green' enough?
    Are the University of Miami logos on the Escalade a coincidence, or is there a deeper connection between the Trump family and the university that involves more than just collegiate golf?
    How does the public perception of a celebrity or influencer's choice of vehicle impact the brand's marketability?
