The well-known country music artist Sheryl Crow has bravely defied Elon Musk by selling her Tesla and giving the money to National Public.
In a daring move against Elon Musk, famed country music artist Sheryl Crow sold her Tesla and donated the money to National Public Radio (NPR).
Concerns over Musk’s involvement
The 63-year-old Missouri native Sheryl Crow has never been reticent about her political beliefs, and she is most definitely not one to support Donald Trump’s followers or the Republican Party.
Crow recently joined the expanding discussion over Elon Musk’s impact on American politics, expressing her displeasure and worry about his behavior, particularly in light of his connections to Trump and his place in the public discourse.
Sheryl Crow protested Elon Musk’s connections to President Donald Trump’s administration by selling her black Tesla, which she announced on Instagram.
She posted a video of herself saying goodbye to the car along with the caption, “My parents always said… you are what you hang out with.” You have to choose who you are willing to associate with at some point. Goodbye, Tesla.
Musk’s role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during President Donald Trump’s administration has prompted this gesture. Crow emphasized the value of promoting accurate news while voicing her worries about Musk’s involvement and his hostility to NPR. She said:
“Donations were made to @npr, which President Musk is threatening, with the hope that the truth will continue to reach those who are open to hearing it.”
Some members of the media had conjectured that Elon Musk might serve as the “shadow” president prior to Donald Trump’s inauguration, arguing that Musk’s connections to the Trump administration and his sway over the tech sector might enable him to influence decisions and policies behind the scenes.
Musk’s strong relationship with Trump and his participation in several federal advisory committees during the early years of the Trump administration served as fuel for this hypothesis.
called her “woke.”
Sheryl Crow appeared unfazed as she said goodbye to her Tesla, even grinning as a tow truck removed it.
Her fans had differing opinions about her choice; some accused her of supporting “wasteful government spending” and others criticized her for being “elite.”
“Just because you had a hit thirty years ago doesn’t mean anyone cares about your opinion, or even remembers who you are,” some of her detractors said of her, labeling her “woke.”
Crow made it clear that all of the money she obtained from selling the Tesla would go to NPR, even if she didn’t reveal the precise amount she received—the most basic model starts at $42,000.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) repeated Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s accusation that NPR provides biased news coverage. Greene declared that a hearing will be held to look into whether PBS and NPR have failed to cover stories that are critical of the Biden administration.
“Help NPR.” Last Monday, Musk commented on X, “It should be able to survive on its own.”
Sheryl Crow said on election day that she had voted for Kamala Harris, saying she had done so because the candidate showed “compassion, understanding, a heart for community, and for the underserved” instead of “hate, division, bigotry, or racism.”
Early in Donald Trump’s first term in 2017, Sheryl Crow called the first 144 days of his presidency “nothing but chaos” and stated her hope that he would be impeached.
She admitted, “It has really kept me up at night.” It has gotten into our daily life in a way that I don’t think is healthy. Our democracy, which we Americans rely on, is what worries me. The reality is unknown to us.
