Democratic Senator Mark Kelly to let go of his Tesla over Musk’s federal cuts
Arizona senator had also clashed with billionaire over the latter’s ‘traitor’ jibe after Kelly posted about his Ukraine visit
Summary
Democratic Senator and former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly announced he's getting rid of his Tesla, citing owner Elon Musk's role in federal budget cuts and social program reductions.
Kelly said the car reminds him of "how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country" and stated he doesn't want to drive a car "built and designed by an asshole."
The decision follows a clash where Musk called Kelly a "traitor" over Ukraine-related comments.
Kelly's move joins others like singer Sheryl Crow in boycotting Tesla, as Musk's political involvement has triggered sales declines, boycotts, and vandalism against the company.
Donate the thing to a car smashing fundraiser, where all the proceeds to go to something Musk killed - USAID, kids lunch programs... there's a list to choose from.
Edit: Hold the fundraiser in sight of a Tesla dealership, or somewhere near the Whitehouse.
Musk took his money already, so he ain't gonna GAF. He'll play up the "persecution" so Trumpers will buy them en masse in "righteous support." Fuckwads, the lot of 'em.
Massive oversuppply in the used car market makes used car prices really low - thus making new car purchases less likely
He does care in the aggregate
More cars in the used market can lower prices, but only if they're cars people want to buy.
Left doesn't want to be seen in a Tesla, right doesn't want any EV at all.
I don't think the average American can afford a Tesla, let alone the average Trump voter.
An electrified future would be the only silver lining that can come from all of this, even if it is from swastikars. The chargers (going forward) are standardized and universal, so the infrastructure will work for others as well.
Mark Kelly 2028! This man is a real hero
Virtue signaling. Should've dumped your Tesla when Musk turned Twitter into ground zero for Nazi resurgence.
So brave! I'm sure his action will have a deep and wide ranging impact /s
But he thought it was cool to have one in the first place.
Send him home.
EDIT: I will double-down for the downvoters. There was never, ever anything cool about owning a Tesla. Only superficial cunts bought them. If that's you, own it.
What a dumb take.
Thank you. I post often.
