Summary
Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.
NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.
Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.
You say potato, I say “not visually signaling support for a guy who gives nazi salutes, provides monetary aid to literal nazis, and is currently engaged in an active attempt to permanently end democracy in the US”.
Spoken like a Internet blowhard.
How long ago did you buy? Still enough Musk fanboys that either don’t care that he is a Nazi or support it. Likely able to sell it and buy an objectively better vehicle, if it is an actual concern.
I bought mine 2018 but I’m not going to be selling a perfectly working car, putting my family into more unnecessary debt right when inflation and stupid tariffs are knocking on our doors just to do absolutely nothing but some performative protest to appease a bunch of people on the Internet.
I bet most families that have bought Teslas are going to be doing the same, average people aren’t going to be just selling their cars for a protest, putting themselves into more financial strain.
But you do you Internet, I do wonder how many of those will actually put their money where their fingertips are, especially with all of these other companies who are kowtowing to this fascist administration.
Fair enough. That’s long enough of ownership that resale would likely be impacted. Getting into debt at this juncture would indeed not be recommended.
