Sheryl Crow Sells Tesla, Donates Proceeds to NPR in Protest of Elon Musk’s Political Role

The Grammy-winning singer criticizes Elon Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency and his influence in Donald Trump’s administration.

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she sold her Tesla, citing her unwillingness to align with Elon Musk, whom she referred to as 'President Musk.'
The proceeds from the sale were donated to NPR, which Crow described as being under threat from Musk and the Trump administration.
Musk, as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been leading efforts to dismantle federal agencies and cut government jobs as part of Trump’s second-term agenda.
Crow’s protest aligns with her history of progressive activism and criticism of far-right politics, including her support for independent journalism and constitutional protections.
The singer’s move has sparked mixed reactions online, with praise from liberal supporters and criticism from conservative commentators.
