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.
I’ve been seeing people advocating ruining random Teslas and it’s pissing me off. Do people think rightoids make up the majority of EV early adopters? Fucking think about it before you go off spray painting swastikas onto innocent people’s cars holy shit.
All Teslas? No. But if someone’s driving a cybertruck, they know who they were buying into.
Don’t be a dick and ruin a stranger’s things just because.
Still, those early adopters weren’t the people making $45,000 a year. It’s not like they can/could afford a new $60,000 car. Anybody buying a Tesla is solidly upper middle class. And often are DINO’s politically. And they can live comfortably if they aren’t too busy trying to maintain an image.
You’re making way too many assumptions . Most of us care more about the technology than the image, chose to spend money we can barely afford to help build a market toward an EV transition, most of us can’t live comfortably if we lost our most expensive non-house purchase. And I soundly reject your Dino assumption. This kind of hatred of people based solely on a vehicle should be beneath you. Making up characteristics so you can hate someone is not ok. We can see this same logic used on the right to hate people because of their race or preferences, etc. it’s not ok
