Recently, Crow has joined the growing debate around Elon Musk’s influence on American politics, voicing her disappointment and concern over his actions, especially in relation to his ties with Trump and his role in the public discourse.

Sheryl Crow took to Instagram to announce that she had sold her black Tesla in protest against Elon Musk’s ties to President Donald Trump’s administration.

In her post, she shared a video of herself bidding farewell to the car, saying, ”My parents always said… you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.”

This gesture is a response to Musk’s involvement in President Donald Trump’s administration, where he serves as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Crow expressed her concerns about Musk’s role and his opposition to NPR, emphasizing the importance of supporting truthful journalism. She stated:

”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.”
