Sheryl Crow on selling Tesla to protest Musk: ‘I’m fighting for my kids’
The Hill via AOL ^ | 4/30/25 | Judy Kurtz

Sheryl Crow is opening up about her headline-making move against Elon Musk, saying the public protest of selling her Tesla was a way for her to fight for her children’s future.

The “Soak Up the Sun” singer shared a video on Instagram in February of her Tesla being towed away, saying she was donating funds from the sale of the vehicle to NPR in response to Musk and President Trump’s calls to slash federal funding for public broadcasters.

NPR, Crow said at the time, is “under threat” by Musk, the CEO of Tesla and head of the Department of Government Efficiency.

In an interview with Variety published Wednesday, the Grammy Award winner described the reaction she received for the move, which was mocked by critics, including Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr.

“This feels different, because when I came out against Walmart carrying guns, not everybody was armed — and certainly I didn’t live in Tennessee, where everybody is armed,” the Nashville resident said, making a reference. to her 1996 song, “Love Is a Good Thing.”

Why do we need Hollywood? What service do they provide? Entertainment to kill time? It ain’t entertainment. Hollywood is like a drug. When it is taken out your life, many have withdrawal. However, I don’t. I have so many other, healthier ways to spend my time.

Anyone who has a song with the line “My friend the Communist”, is not to be trusted.

The video showed leaves changing colors - an autumn scene.

Curious, because she claimed to sell it in the winter.

The only explanation is virtue signaling. Buy to virtue signal showing people how awesome you are saving the planet. Sell to virtue signal showing how awesome they are fighting against invisible fascism. Never mind that they contradict.

One must really wonder about people who oppose eliminating incompetence, mismanagement, waste, fraud and corruption in the Federal government.

The only thing I can come up with is that they somehow benefit from it.

Or, it's TDS.

If you look at Cheryl Crow’s family tree, there is a Republican in the woodpile: Charles A. Crow, a GOP congressman and her great-grandfather. He was from the same southeast Missouri area where the family of Rush Limbaugh resided.

LOL. I thought I heard she said sometimes we are allowed more than one, sometimes things get messy. Etc. I think the one square was her ideal goal?

My virtue signaling B-I-L was proud as a peacock when he bought his Tesla model S back when Elon was just a wacky libertarian and - voila!- he just took a bath on it 2 weeks ago, trading it in for a Kia. It was a perfectly good car but for one thing ...

So says someone who according to AI is worth $70 M. She really needs to worry about where her kids are going to get their next meal.

Crow has been nuts since the 1990s when she first had a couple big hits.

I always thought she would be a one hit wonder and never hear from her again. I was wrong. I had a bet with my wife. She won. Unfortunately, we are still hearing about her.

I recently saw a story about Linda Rondstadt spouting off some of her nonsense too. At least Linda was pretty and a heck of a good singer. Another loon too.
