Musk is more than worthy of boycott for sure. However, note that people have always loved to hate Teslas. I wonder what people think we should do for the workers at Tesla who would lose their jobs? Why aren’t we also talking about other companies with terrible CEO’s worthy of boycott? #broligarchy
There's a good chance the value of your Tesla will continue to go down as fElon shreds our democracy/economy and is seen as a pariah and a traitor to the US. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses.
Last year I sold all my Tesla shares. I didn't sell at the best time, and I lost money. But I felt like I needed to defy Elon, if only in my small, miniscule way. I felt good, lighter, in a way. Dignity intact.
Yep Tesla values are dropping like a rock. The Nissan Versa I have now is only worth about $4k less. Tesla values have dropped nearly $8k in the last 6 months.
Valid, but the value of the car is of little concern when it’s paid off and runs. If I sell it, I have to buy a replacement and considering the minimal price I’d get selling a 6 year old car with 120k miles, I’d be hard pressed to find something remotely comparable without taking on a giant car note
Well done Sheryl. Stand strong by good wording from your parents. My wording for all my kids is to "Never lie! Even if it means hurting someones feeling, NEVER LIE!".
We bought in when shares were 127. Kind of a back up plan if the Nazi's won and other stocks crashed. But we just can't support him anymore and it doesn't look like the world is looking too favorable on him or his company, either.
Yeah, I bought back when it was new and he wasn't so out there. But around the time he started getting more vocal and hanging with Joe Rogan and calling the diving expert a p e d o.... Lost me....
It's a shame they didn't work with BYD in making EVs affordable for the whole world. Instead the U.S. put tariffs on China so we would be forced into buying Tesla and Ford.
I canvassed Long Island, mostly Nassau County, for two months prior to the election last November. Almost every house in the suburbs had a Tesla in front. And those god awful trucks were everywhere, along with the Trump yard signs. Ugh...😑
The lyrics are gloomy. We need something catchy that celebrates the Gulf. Sunshine instead of rain. Something people want to dance to with vigor: It's party time at the Gulf of Mexico. Something people can sing to drown out Hail to the Chief or YMCA or I'm Proudtabe. Talk to Lin Manual?
Some jackass has spoofed my email address on x. I have never been on x at any time. If you receive or view my email on or from x, it is bullshit! Block X!

Their observation is that the majority of average citizens are

I was deeply disappointed in the way Ms Crow sang Begin the Beguine in the second Col Porter movie. A wonderful song with a melody she totally ignored. Why weren't the original notes good enough for her, I wonder.
She put her 'money where her mouth is' and I deeply respect her for doing that. We all need to remember not to spend $$ in protest the end of this month as a class action protest. Let's help her.
This is, indeed, The Way.
There are other, less nazi-managed EV companies to engage with.
I don't have the wherewithal to make that BOLD of a "statement."
I have been a supporter of at least three of my local public radio stations for years.
I will also donate directly to NPR as a lifelong fan.
Saw a MMD (Musk Mobile Dumpster) this afternoon holding up traffic trying to make a sharp right turn. Guess turning on a dime isn't Musk's forte, just stealing dimes from the sick and elderly is.
Great, but she bought one in the first place. Well played Sheryl! ❤️ At least it wasn’t a cyber truck and she didn’t pose next to it all proud and shit! 😂
I can't tell you how many times I have seen those SwastiKKKars in the parking lot of the store I work at!!!
If I were hitchhiking in Death Valley and it was 115* and a Tesla pulled up next to me to offer me a ride, I'd say, "Nope!" AND THEN I'D KEEP WALKING!!!
There are much better products. #Honda has the fully electric Prologue, for example. I’ve always owned Honda. Good cars! I’m looking at a hybrid with #Subaru this time.
Two car brands I’ve had that I could always rely upon. My CRV is 10 years old. I change the oil, get a new battery every so often, new tires, new wipers. That is it. My Subaru wagon was my favorite car ever.
I want to go electric so that’s kind of exciting. I was very interested in the electric VW hippie van in case I have to live in my car but Honda is unbeatable.
I have an Outback (gas engine) and am also looking at other options (hybrid?) within the Subaru family. I agree with many of the causes they support and their local support to my community.
Thank you Cheryl this is most appreciated, they need to know we're not happy with them and don't need them. You have become one of the heroes of this fight.
Because EV's are objectively superior to ICE vehicles in almost every way. Short of a grandiose investment in public mass transit, they're the best way to go. Don't need to buy a Tesla anymore to achieve that either, which is great.
They're very good, apparently, made in Germany by some clever people who belong to a culture of auto production.
I wouldn't buy one now if you held a gun to me, but they're good
Teslas sold in the US are made in the US. There are better driving cars, but in the beginning, it was the only EV with over 300 mile range. There are many more options now. I just sold mine too.
Yep. They were very good cars before Melon Husk started cutting corners to wring more profits out of it. Since he took over as ceo the quality’s gone to crap.
I understand the sentiment but what Crow did was really just to make it someone else's problem. It doesn't matter who owns the Model 3. Tesla already has the money.
More positive actions might be to sell Tesla stock, to reduce its value & encourage purchase of non-Tesla EVs like VW or Kia.
She's making it Musk's problem. Flooding the used car market with #Swastikars no one wants reduces value. Sales of new #Swastikars plummets. Tesla stock tanks. Mission accomplished.
The point was to take the money that someone (apparently) supportive of Musk gives her, and to turn that money over to NPR. In effect, making that person indirectly support NPR.
The "even better, sell your Tesla stock" argument only works when the person actually has Tesla stock to sell...
I love how people always like to tell other people what they should do. Go sell all your stock and feel good about yourself. Another person does something their way. Take it for what it is, she got rid of the car and donated the money for a great cause. Everyone just stop overthinking it.
We are never going to get out of this Authoritarian State until you unplug and start over with your purchase power. You helped fuel their hate by enabling them. #boycott #tesla #meta #x and any advertisers who use these platforms. You are currently in your own way. Period. The end! Wake the F Up!
I believe we’re getting close to that.
Heard that the trump regime bought a fleet of swasticars (to artificially puff up Tesla stock?), perhaps with the intent of turning them into urban assault vehicles
I would be surprised if Tesla is even around in a year especially with the DOGE’ing going on and the impact that will have in the overall economy. Everything is connected.
Please don't assume or expect that those who aren't in a financial position like Sheryl can do so. My daughters bought used model 3s (smart for the planet & finance wise for early career people... and doing what the Biden admin encouraged). Now upside down $.. stopped using tesla superchargers.
💯 Bought ours in 2021 with the Biden tax breaks and its now paid off. We are disgusted by FElon and everything he stands for but don't have Sheryl Crow $$$ to replace it.
Today, I am attempting a solution in an abyss of complaints!
I HOPE THIS CATCHES YOU
Please just take a look at my FULL draft legal strategy on my page to stop Elon/Trump.
THOUGHTS PLEASE!
I believe it'll be worth the time. I have a draft letter for officials too.

They have already bent the knee when they helped sane wash his words and bullshit antics. They regularly interview far right fascist and frame it as "fair and balanced" journalism when they offer 0 push back to the obvious lies that often spews from their face.
She can afford a Rivian. I bought my Tesla to get off fossil fuels (when Elon supported Obama). A well designed car by Eberhard and Tarpenning; Musk is an investor. The Petroindustrial complex is at the core of destruction to our planet. I hate the guy too but prioritize the environment.
I’m angry to be demonized for buying my small LFP battery (cobalt-free) M3 because I felt strongly it was the right thing for the environment- and still do. All these magat idiots, and ppl are going to take their anger out on me? I wouldn’t buy now- but not in a position to give my car away.
Make sure you get a magnet or sticker that says "I bought this before we knew Elon was crazy". Yeah, I agree that people that bought them before all this shouldn't be demonized, but owning one does make a statement even if it's passive. I sold mine last week.
yeah, friends suggested that- I really may have to get a sticker. Irritating spot, bec I’m in a purple state where I’m equally likely to be tailgated by giant pickups…Did you buy something you like?
Everyone should go and stream her music. Would be great to see her suddenly pop to the top of the streaming charts as a high five. People did similar for Britney the week JT’s recent album dropped and it got a lot of media coverage that her old stuff was ranked higher than his new release.
No. the next person who wants to sell their Tesla. **"Please Have a Raffle to be the person that pulls the lever to crush the Tesla". You will make more money and bigger statement. Plus the Internet bump will be higher.
You do what you can afford! Cheryl Crow could afford this. She did not say everyone should do the same. It’s a strong statement that will get attention. You can own a Tesla and not shop at other Drumpf 🍑 kissers - Amazon, Walmart, 🎯 . Love the Tesla owners with anti stickers on their cars.
Actually she's been smart, resale value will only go down from now on and the sooner you sell it, the more you can recover, and if she's selling it and giving the money away for a good deed, better, if she buys an EU or US car, the sooner the better, when tariffs strike prices will go up.

You can actually buy Toyotas that are American made and EV and hundreds of thousands of miles.
Sheryl Crow is sane and values the truth. ✅️

Here in Norway, the country with most electric cars, people are selling their swasticars, and no one buy new once.. Coss we do not support nazies

Do you not use Paypal because Musk was once involved with it?

Nice.
Then changed description to
"Armored EVs (non'Sedan)"
Removed words Tesla and Cybertruck
Musk also got $77B in government contracts since December

Remember when we used to kill Nazi’s? I think about that everyday now. For those that made it to trial, we hanged them & cremated them.
We killed them
We

Bad investment for the buyer.
