“Hey folks, Mark Kelly here in Washington, driving to work for the last time in my Tesla. When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to 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 is doing to our country, talking about slashing social security, cutting healthcare benefits for poor people, for seniors.
“It’s one bad thing after the next. He’s firing veterans. I’m a veteran. So I have a really hard time driving around in this thing. So I think it’s time for an upgrade today. So this is going to be my last, last trip in this car.
“There are some things I really liked about it. There are things I didn’t like about it, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is, you know, doing the right thing. I think it’s time to get rid of it. Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an asshole and I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole. So, uh, looking forward to my new ride.” – Sen. Mark Kelly, days after Elon Musk called him a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine.
I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon. pic.twitter.com/N4Anmsi6cH
