Sheryl Crow Sells Tesla in Protest of Elon Musk, Donates Proceeds to NPR

The musician criticized Musk's political role under President Trump and expressed support for NPR's mission amid funding threats.

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she sold her Tesla, citing Elon Musk's political ties as her reason for parting with the vehicle.
Crow donated the proceeds from the sale to NPR, which she described as being under threat from Musk's leadership in the Trump administration.
Musk, as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has faced criticism for targeting federal spending, including calls to defund NPR.
The move comes as Tesla faces backlash and declining sales in several markets, attributed by some to Musk's political affiliations and policy decisions.
Crow's protest is part of a broader trend of consumers aligning purchasing decisions with political and social values.
