Ever since he announced that he was running for Bexar County judge, Ron Nirenberg has been driving all around town.
The former San Antonio mayor has zipped from debates to luncheons to fundraisers to neighborhood meetings to television and podcast appearances as he tries to convince voters to choose him over County Judge Peter Sakai in the Democratic primary.
He's done that driving a dark grey Tesla Model Y. But Tesla's shiny signature "T" logo is nowhere on the car. Instead, just above the license plate, there's a Toyota emblem.
The SUV "used to be a Tesla," Nirenberg jokes.
"I'm no fan of Elon Musk," he adds.
Nirenberg is one of millions of Americans who became outraged at Musk, Tesla's CEO and the world's richest person, when he turned into one of President Donald Trump's closest confidants.
So Nirenberg bought a Toyota logo on eBay, used dental floss to remove the Tesla logo and then pasted on the Toyota emblem. Nirenberg also scrapped all the Tesla logos from the center caps of the four wheels.
But for all of his ire against Musk, Nirenberg bought the electric car after the billionaire poured hundreds of millions of dollars to return Trump to the White House and then went to work for him.
Musk joined the administration in January 2025 to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, an office tasked with overhauling the federal bureaucracy by firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and dismantling government agencies.

Wow...what an idiot.
Ron Nirenberg (D), former mayor of San Antonio is now running for county judge.
I remember when San Antonio was a conservative stronghold - back in the 60s when it was home to 5 military bases and many military retirees.
Now it’s following in the footsteps of Austin...
...
"but I'll proclaim my public hypocrisy as I run for office."
He ticks off nearly all of the boxes for a leftist jurist. /s
Oh, so stunning and brave.
< spits>
The usual false advertising that dims tout. I mean if you want to remove the logo just leave it blank but putting another makes logo on is typical dim stupid. There are plenty of non Tesla EVs out there too.
His Tesla identifies as a Toyota. Keep an eye on it...it might go rogue.
Looks better debadged anyways.
What a goofball.
Yet he still bought and drives a Tesla
A testimony to the disgusting “sameness” of today’s cars. You used to be able to identify a make/model just by looking at its unique styling. Now ... blah.
At least it wasn’t a Cybertruck he was trying to disguise.
Yeah, he spent $10 on a Toiletta emblem but laid out $50k or so for Elon’s car. Moron.
He is no fan of Elon but drives a Tesla. Sounds like he is mentally ill.
What great irony. The site of the Alamo has become another leftist hellhole floater slowly circling the toilet.
Editing is dead.
What a fool. But you paid big bucks for that thing because you thought it made you cool and trendy. FU, retarded fool.
He’s a Democrat so he IS mentally ill.
