Remember when all the best people, the elites and elitists among us, the correct thinkers, the self-appointed guardians of all things good, were buying electric vehicles, particularly Teslas? What a terrific way for them to demonstrate their green street cred. But that’s passé. The latest in look-at-me virtue signaling is selling that Tesla to make an important political statement.
Because Tesla CEO Elon Musk is aiding President Donald Trump in rooting out federal waste and corruption, he’s become a villain to the left. To be caught in one of his cars is simply an embarrassment to status seekers and the prigs obsessed with placing themselves on Barack Obama’s “right side of history.” So like entertainer Sheryl Crow, they have to unload their Teslas, and, naturally, do it as loudly as possible.
Last week, Crow “dramatically bid adieu to her black Tesla,” the New York Post reported, to protest the man she tagged on her Instagram account as “#PresidentMusk.”
Crow took to social media on Friday to reveal she had sold the electric car and was donating the money to NPR, “which Musk has repeatedly called to defund as his Department of Government Efficiency looks to slash federal funding.”

...or buy one.
If it makes you happy.
Did her friend, the Communist, tell her to do it?
Judge Jeannine commented that the video of Crow waving to her Tesla clearly showed Fall weather, leaves on trees etc in TN where she lives.
So why is this video just being shown now with this “story”?
Dinosaur Fossil burners are back in style. Making America great again. Bring back the muscle cars. It’s Jurassic Raceway all over again!
Yeah, but neither can afford her gas, especially in Cali.
Good point!
The Fall “colors” were on the tree leaves.
Fall colors in February?
I think Judge Jeannine was the only person who pointed this out.
And here I was looking forward to the Tesla Sheryl Crow Signature model - it’s just a regular T3, but it does come with a free square of toilet paper.
Does this mean that with what would be a glut of used Tesla automobiles on the market, that the average price of a used one should go down markedly?
Or will the purchase of NEW Tesla automobiles sharply increase, as it shall now be “cool” for Trump supporters to change their automotive preferences?
Still wouldn’t be buying Polestar or Ford 150 Lightning vehicles.
In my opinion they are just getting rid of them before the batteries go dead and they become worthless lumps of steel.

This is all just rich. Woke Tesla owners have to wrestle with all of this:
> Sell this car (that they’re almost certainly upside-down on) — at a loss.
> Buy a new car... another (inferior) branded EV or (gasp!) destroy the environment with a gas vehicle? If a new EV... will the current garage charger be compatible or is that yet another expense?
All the while, Musk isn’t impacted at all since he already got paid for the Tesla they’re trying to ditch. And he doesn’t even care about whatever message they’re trying to send.
Maybe start walking or taking an e-bike. Oh, and then there’s the Tesla roof on the house...
We should applaud her for making a private contribution instead of NPR sucking taxpayers’ money.
I thought they were “saving the planet”!
Making a political statement is more important to them than clean air and water.
They want children to die so they can show their friends how much they hate Trump. I totally dismiss any of those hypocrites.
Virtue Signaling, I present you VIRTUE SIGNALLING SQUARED!!
Man, we already had the arithmetic of lgbt+ making woke baby ideology like crazy seeking tax payer funding, now we got it geometrically!!!
Tesla was virtue signaling and now Tesla but no Tesla both! How dare one have feelings.
Yes. We need to push this schizoohrenic virtue signalling squared on the woke until their heads explode.
Yes. Orwell is drunk. We are in a post-Orwellian world! The schizos did it
Good! I’m looking to buy a used Tesla.
They are actually already making and selling huge, ugly bumper stickers that are proclaiming:
“I BOUGHT THIS CAR BEFORE MUSK TURNED EVIL!”
