Tech YouTuber announces decision to sell all Teslas he owns by the end of 2025

A well-known tech YouTuber has announced plans to sell every Tesla vehicle in his collection, aiming to complete this by 2025’s end.

A well-known tech YouTuber, Zack Nelson, who goes by the name JerryRigEverything, has announced that he will sell all of his Tesla vehicles by the end of 2025.

This decision comes after a recent controversy involving Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk.

Elon Musk faced backlash for a gesture.

The controversy began when Elon Musk made a gesture at President Trump’s inauguration that many people interpreted as a Nazi salute.

This moment was captured in a video that quickly spread across social media.

Musk later responded to the backlash on his platform, X (formerly Twitter), saying that the accusations were tired and unfounded.

“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”

Despite Musk’s comments, many people continued to express their disapproval of his actions.

This situation caught the attention of various influencers and social media users, including Nelson.

This bold statement reflects his disappointment with Musk and his desire to distance himself from the brand.

Nelson has a significant following on social media, with nearly nine million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

He is known for his technology reviews and has been outspoken about his views on Tesla in the past.

His criticism of Musk’s actions has resonated with many viewers who share similar sentiments.

Grimes tweeted: “To be clear I could go talk s*** and be on a bunch of magazine covers and be a feminist hero and get clout – but it would serve no purpose.

I choose my children’s wellbeing.”

Another user replied: “We understand that you are unwilling to directly talk about his actions but please denounce all the all-right/Nazi’s that feel comfortable in your comments.

It would do a lot of good to clarify your stance right now.”

Social media reactions to the decision of YouTuber

The announcement from Nelson has sparked a range of reactions online.

Some users supported him, agreeing that it was time to reevaluate their relationship with Tesla due to Musk’s behavior.

Others made jokes about the situation, highlighting the absurdity of the circumstances.

Imagine living a life where you make all your decisions based on politics and you never think for yourself.

I get tired of hearing about all these people who follow the crowd. There’s nothing admirable about being a follower, one user said.

That will make exactly fuck all difference to Elon Musk as he already sold him the vehicles once, the second user wrote.

But he’s already brought them and given Elon the money I’m sure musk will be devastated now, the third user commented.

Don’t know how that is going to hurt Musk since he already bought them, another user said.

Dump Tesla, demand the government not to subsidize Space X! Someone said.

Grimes expressed concern over Musk’s actions.

The controversy also attracted comments from Grimes, Musk’s ex-partner.

She addressed the situation on X, discussing her hesitation to comment directly on Musk’s actions.

In her posts, she expressed her willingness to denounce Nazi ideology and the far-right.

Grimes replied: “I’m happy to denounce Nazi-ism – and the far alt-right. Would that help clear things up?

I’ve just gotten out of breakfast and have to catch a flight, and am still debating how to approach things diplomatically because I feel in over my head.

But if there’s concern about that, I am happy to set the record straight in a meaningful way.”
