The Arizona Democrat posted a video in March marking his “last trip” driving his Tesla. He wrote in the caption that he’d bought it because it was “fast like a rocket ship” but that driving it had come to “feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people.”
“I think it’s time to get rid of it,” he said in the video, using an expletive to refer to Musk and saying he didn’t want to drive a car designed by such a person.
He’d told reporters prior that he was “looking into” selling his Tesla, though he noted “there’s things I like about it.”
“It’s kind of cheaply built on the inside, but I love the performance,” he said at the time.
His remarks came amid his recent dust-up with Musk, who called the senator a “traitor” for visiting Ukraine.
Kelly responded: “Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.”
