Sheryl Crow has sold her Tesla amid rising tensions surrounding CEO Elon Musk's politics, particularly his recent statements about defunding NPR. In an Instagram video, she bid farewell to her vehicle, explaining that the sale's proceeds would support NPR, which she views as vital amidst threats to factual reporting. Crow quoted her parents on making choices about personal alignments, emphasizing the need to stand by one's principles. Support from fellow musicians on social media highlights a growing trend of artists distancing themselves from brands linked to controversial figures. Crow is also scheduled for future performances.
In a video posted to Instagram on Friday, Sheryl Crow waved goodbye to her Tesla, which was being towed away, after selling it and donating the proceeds to NPR.
Crow stated, "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."
This decision follows Elon Musk's controversial actions linking him to Trump’s administration, particularly targeting government support for organizations like NPR.
Crow expressed hope that her donation would help "the truth continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth" amid threats to NPR.
