Summary

Sheryl Crow announced on Instagram that she is selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR, citing concerns over Elon Musk’s leadership.

NPR is under political scrutiny, with Republican lawmakers and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr launching investigations.

Crow’s move is a protest against Musk’s influence in government and Trump’s efforts to defund public media.

It’s sad because there are a lot of good people who work at Tesla. Elon is going to end up putting them all out of work at this rate.

    Part of his drive into politics is because of so number of lawsuits against him about working conditions.

    But he'll put many more people out of work than just work for Tesla. Just USAID he's out basically 10k people out of work domestically, who knows how many thousands of people overseas.

    Even before Elon went crazy I thought it was publicly known it was a terrible place to work for with bad work life balance, and people worked at to get on their resume then move on to another company.

    Of all the people who lost or will lose their job because of Musk, those who actively chose to work for him are not on the top of my sympathy list. Not to say that they are not on that list, but they are very close to the bottom.

    There's 9 people sitting at a table, a nazi joins them. Now there's 10 nazis at the table.

    That they're "good people" might have been true. But if when the situation changes, and you don't act, then you're complicit. Good people would have quit, even at a loss.
