Sheryl Crow has had enough of Elon Musk. The singer shared a new Instagram post on Friday waving goodbye to her Tesla, confirming that she sold her car following Musk and President Donald Trump‘s efforts to gut government programs through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“My parents always said… you are who you hang out with,” Crow wrote in her post, accompanied by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman’s “Time to Say Goodbye.” She added, “There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla.”
Crow shared that the money she made selling the car would go to NPR, which she said was “under threat by President Musk.” The singer said she was donating to the radio network “in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth.”
Crow’s support of NPR comes as the Trump administration continues to fight the press, as evidenced by Trump’s move to block the Associated Press from the Oval Office over the news outlet’s refusal to change its editorial style to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.”
Crow’s decision comes as Musk and Trump have spent the first month of the president’s second term dismantling the federal government. DOGE laid off thousands of government workers and in the past two weeks, Musk and DOGE have gone after the U.S. Agency for International Development as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
Speaking with Rolling Stone earlier this week, Senator Elizabeth Warren, who originally proposed the creation of the CFPB, said the Administration’s actions have put the country on the brink of a “constitutional crisis.”
“Come fight it out here in Congress,” Warren said. “But you have to be willing to stand up and defend your ideas and persuade people to vote for them. You don’t get to slither around in the dark and put a handful of teenage hackers into the middle of [America’s] payments systems, as a way to give yourself control of the functioning of our government. “
Crow has been vocal of her disapproval of Trump and far-right politics for years. On election day, Crow confirmed she’d cast her ballot for Kamala Harris, saying she picked the candidate that represented “empathy, compassion, a heart for community and for those underserved, Not hate and division, bigotry, or racism.”
