Senator Kelly sells Tesla over Musk's political influence

news.yahoo.com

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona announced he is selling his Tesla due to his discontent with Elon Musk's actions and political influence. He expressed that driving the car has become a reminder of what he sees as negative impacts on the country. Kelly's decision reflects a broader trend where some Tesla owners feel their vehicles have become political symbols. Reports of vandalism against Teslas have increased, with incidents targeting dealerships and vehicles linked to Musk. The situation has led to a decline in Tesla's stock, which has dropped by 50% since December. Analysts suggest that the brand's value is suffering due to Musk's political involvement and the overall downturn in the electric vehicle market.
