Singer Sheryl Crow, 63, waved goodbye to her Tesla as she sold the electric car and blasted billionaire “President Musk” in a viral clip. “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla,” Crow captioned an Instagram post rebuking Elon Musk’s intensifying political power as leader of the Department of Government Efficiency as well as President Donald Trump. Crow pledged to donate the money generated from the sale 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.” The nine-time Grammy winner has been an outspoken political critic throughout the years—slamming fellow musician Jason Aldean for “promoting violence” in his Try That in a Small Town song. At the Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C., Crow assessed America’s current political climate as not “uplifting,” The Hill reported. She added that one must endure “rugged times” in order to “decide who we are in our humanity.” About her decision to sell the car, Crow wrote, “My parents always said … you are who you hang out with.”
