The Arizona senator said his Tesla is a “rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people.”

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a former Space Shuttle commander, has parted ways with his black Tesla Model S following a heated public feud with Elon Musk. Kelly, a Democrat, announced his decision in a video posted on Musk’s social media platform, X, on Friday.

Standing near the U.S. Capitol, the Arizona Democrat echoed the growing sentiment of many left-leaning Tesla owners, who have come to regret that the electric vehicle is so closely aligned with the man spearheading President Donald Trump’s mass layoffs in the federal workforce.
