A US senator who Elon Musk called a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine says he is ditching his Tesla.
Democrat Mark Kelly, who has been a staunch supporter of Kyiv, said any peace deal “can’t be a giveaway to Putin” after his visit earlier this month.
Musk, an unelected adviser to President Donald Trump, replied to the Arizona senator: “You are a traitor.”
Now Kelly is getting a new set of wheels.
“Hey folks,” he said in a video on social media. “I’m here in Washington, driving to work for the last time in my Tesla.
“When I bought this thing I didn’t think it was gonna become a political issue.
“Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump are doing to our country.”
He said it’s “one bad thing after the next”.
“Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an asshole and I don’t wanna be driving a car built and designed by an asshole. So, looking forward to my new ride.”
