Sheryl Crow sells Tesla, donates proceeds to NPR in protest against Elon Musk

Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has stirred controversy by selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, expressing her discontent with Elon Musk's alignment with the Trump administration. In an Instagram video, she stated, "My parents always said… you are who you hang out with," signaling her decision to distance herself from the company. Crow's actions are a protest against what she perceives as threats to NPR and the truth, referring to Musk as 'President Musk' in her posts. Her announcement received mixed reactions, with Louisiana Senator John Kennedy criticizing her for her stance, while FCC Chair Brendan Carr sarcastically thanked her for her move. The broader context includes significant declines in Tesla sales across several countries, attributed to changing consumer values and political factors. The situation highlights a growing divide among public figures regarding their support for Musk and his policies.
