Bette Midler is singing songs of joy after getting rid of her Tesla.

“What a joyful day!” the diva posted on Instagram and Bluesky. “I sold my (gulp) Tesla!”

Though Midler is known for her environmental advocacy, she celebrated ditching the electric vehicle, saying she sees Tesla as “a symbol of racism, greed and ignorance” due to its association with CEO Elon Musk.

Funny, those things are exactly that come to mind when a think of bette midler

[b4me]

So Bette is finally admitting she has been racist and greedy through her life until just recently, as she decided to sell what she previously bought, loved and used to transport herself from home to places?

There is no greater thug in America than a “liberal”. Old rich and no longer relevant witch sold a car. Who cares.

[Karliner]

So she’s admitting it?

[sima_yi]

Interesting. First, she virtue signals by buying a Tesla (to save the erf, ya know), then she virtue signals by selling it.

Leftist logic at its best.

[Ronald77]

Of course, Tesla was a Democrat favor until Musk turned republican. Electric you know.

[roving]

Did she call the person that bought her car those names?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So, did she buy a Ford F-150, or does Antifa disapprove of those?

[Bonemaker]

Go to Gaza Bette.

Midler is making me want to own a Tesla, but I really dislike EVs

[Islander7]

She just called the buyer a racist, a bigot, greedy, and a white supremist.

Why would you sell your car to such a creep, Bett?

My younger sister interviewed to work for her many years ago. Decided to turn down the job after it was offered. Said that Bette was the most foul, vulgar woman she had ever met. I think she’s Joy Behar’s twin sister. They look alike. Both are foul, vulgar women.

In other news: Bette is still alive? Who knew?

[RckyRaCoCo]

Yep...programmable drones

[jonrick46]

Something is wrong with the minds of the Hollywood Left. Is is mental illness derived by constant fear that their wealth will be gone by some imagined threat? Are these the same ones who woke up mom and dad because there was a monster under their bed? Paranoia is a central symptom of psychosis. The more these Hollywood types make the crazier they get.

[Ditto]

This woman is a low talent, self aggrandizing moron.

[gnickgnack2]

The wind beneath her cheeks!

[gnickgnack2]

So this “great medium” printed her hateful words, but added no explanation, reason, evidence or common sense behind them.

Typical.
