Country music star Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she had sold her Tesla to protest Elon Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s administration, and donated the earnings to NPR.
“My parents always said… you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla,” Crow wrote on Instagram alongside a video of her waving goodbye to her Tesla.
Crow, a critic of President Trump, echoed concerns of Democratic lawmakers and liberal pundits, who have taken issue with Musk’s role in Trump’s administration as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“Money donated to @npr, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth,” she continued in the post.
