Sen. Mark Kelly ditching his Tesla: ‘Built and designed by an a‑‑hole’

Senator Mark Kelly announced he is giving up his Tesla due to what he calls "asshole" behavior by Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, who is a major donor to Donald Trump.
Kelly expressed that driving a car associated with Musk's behavior feels damaging, stating, 'I don't want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole.'
Kelly's decision follows a national trend, with others on social media expressing relief after ditching their Teslas, referring to it as no longer wanting to drive a "swasticar."
Public sentiment towards Tesla has declined significantly, with shares dropping by more than 50% and protests occurring at showrooms across the country.
