Sheryl Crow waves goodbye to towed Tesla car after slamming ‘President Musk’: See video
Sheryl Crow wants to have some fun and is known to soak up the sun, but now she’s done with Elon Musk.
The left-leaning country singer, known for hits like “Soak Up The Sun” and “All I Want to Do” is ditching her electric vehicle, which are popular among some environmentalists, over Tesla owner Musk’s affiliation with President Donald Trump.
In an Instagram post Friday, Crow is shown standing on the street while her car is towed. She waves as the Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman song “Time To Say Goodbye” plays in the background.
“My parents always said… you are who you hang out with,” Crow wrote in her caption. “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.”

She continued: “Money donated to @npr, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.”
The comments are in reference to Musk’s entrance into Washington as President Trump’s second term is underway. Musk says he wants to reshape American government by dramatically reducing the size and scope of federal departments and agencies.

Musk, the world’s richest man, is currently head of Trump’s newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Crow has long been critical of Trump, suggesting that he “undermines” America in an interview with The Syndey Morning Herald in 2017.

“How can someone work every single day to make sure the country is divided? It breaks my heart,” she said at the time, adding that “He undermines it (America) with his … I want to say ineptitude but unfortunately it’s deeper than that.”
“I think most of the things he stands for are completely antithetical to what the US is based on and founded on, the dreams of the people that founded this country and the backs that this community was built on,” she added during the Morning Herald interview.
