Mark Kelly is getting rid of his Tesla. Bluesky post from him a couple of hours ago, with video. [View all]

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, youâ€™re fired!

New ride coming soon.
