Renowned singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has made a bold statement by selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to National Public Radio (NPR). This move is a direct response to her concerns about Elon Musk’s influence on American politics and his ties to the Trump administration.
Crow, a vocal critic of President Trump and his policies, expressed her disappointment with Musk’s involvement in the administration. She stated that Musk’s actions have raised questions about his commitment to truthful journalism, particularly in relation to his opposition to NPR.

In a recent Instagram post, Crow shared a video of herself bidding farewell to her Tesla, emphasizing the importance of aligning oneself with values that promote truth and integrity. She wrote, “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.”
The proceeds from the sale of Crow’s Tesla will go directly to NPR, an organization that has faced criticism and funding threats from the Trump administration and its allies. Crow’s gesture is a testament to her commitment to supporting independent journalism and promoting fact-based reporting.
Crow’s decision has sparked a mixed reaction from her followers, with some praising her for taking a stand against Musk and others criticizing her for being “woke” and “elitist.” Despite the backlash, Crow remains resolute in her commitment to promoting truth and integrity in journalism.
This is not the first time Crow has spoken out against President Trump and his policies. In 2017, she expressed her hope that he would be impeached, citing the chaos and division that had characterized his presidency. Her latest move is a continuation of her efforts to promote truth, integrity, and accountability in American politics.
