Donald Trump grips the wheel of a plummeting economy car while Elon Musk leaps to safety from the cliff edge. The vehicle bears a sharp red downward arrow and heads straight for the drop. Musk wears a MAGA cap and a shirt proclaiming Trump is never wrong.

The scene echoes the Thelma and Louise ending with the economy in free fall. Flames and debris trail the car as it leaves the canyon rim. Recent tariff policies and market drops supply the immediate backdrop for the April 2025 image.

Bagley uses the visual to link the two figures to economic risk. Trump remains inside the vehicle while Musk abandons it at the last moment. The cartoon captures the ongoing tension between administration policy and business reaction.
