Bette Midler has sold her Tesla, labeling it a 'symbol of racism, greed, and ignorance' due to CEO Elon Musk's political stances, particularly his support for Donald Trump. Midler's decision reflects a broader movement among celebrities like Jason Bateman and Sheryl Crow, who have also opted to sell their vehicles in protest against Musk's political influence. The backlash against Musk has been escalating, with protests against his policies and political donations. As Tesla's stock has seen a significant decline, criticism of Musk’s involvement in various political efforts has intensified.
What a joyful day! I sold my (gulp) Tesla! No longer do I have to drive a symbol of racism, greed and ignorance! Life is suddenly so much better!!
Midler joins a growing list of other public figures who have sold their Teslas over Musk's politics, including actor Jason Bateman, singer Sheryl Crow, and Sen. Mark Kelly.
