Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) received a wave of criticism on Friday when he announced plans to trade in his Tesla in protest of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
Kelly shared a video on X in which he pointed at his Tesla, saying he was driving to work in it for the final time. “When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue.”
He claimed that each time he has driven the electric vehicle (EV) in the past 60 days or so, “it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.”

Can’t get my head around this guy. Is he inauthentic? Not very bright, but lucky? Loyal to his wife, but not?
Don’t know. Just don’t like him.

A former astronaut decides that virtue-signaling and casting aspersions at the one man capable of rescuing fellow astronauts left stranded in space by the very political party putting words into his mouthis a proper way to show his opinion? I wonder how'd he feel if HE were left stranded by Biden at the ISS for a year. What a DUMBASS.

Old Mark may have gone to "the sock hop" a couple of times, but he needs to show a little respect to the one
man that can get the rest of your friends "home from the dance" safely. This guy is a real cold fish.

Why, why, why is he our Senator? Have no idea how he became an astronaut with the mental capacity of Joe Biden...answered my own question. Save the planet and then punish Musk...

“When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue.” Hey Mark! You just made it a political issue!

I love reading conservative comments to liberals. So witty and downright hilarious. Lefty comments to conservatives are just insults and name calling.

I have the same question for Kelly about getting rid of his Tesla that I had for Sheryl Crow when she virtue signaled over donating hers to PBS: If it makes you happy, then why the hell are you so sad?

A car does not become a political statement unless you make it one, which thousands of lefties like Mark Kelly did. How does a moron become an astronaut? Those people usually have engineering or a physics education.

EV's have been political in nature from the outset, you idiot. Just get one of those new "ANTI ELON TESLA CLUB" bumper stickers and you'll be fine.

FTA - "The senator then said it was time for an upgrade. “Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an [***]hole. And I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an [***]hole.”"
So, Kelly. It takes one to know one, pal?

Typical leftist 'Rat.
He could have just quietly traded in his Tesla on something else, and there would not have been any fuss.
But NO!, he had to go on the Media and make a big deal of getting into the middle of a squabble. Maybe he just had to try to get his name mentioned in the Media, but he intentionally got into -and added to- the Lefty/EcoWeenie/EV/Tesla/Musk squabble and called Musk a nasty name, so it's 'disingenuous' of him to complain about being in the middle of the squabble.

Amazing! Uncle Fester's angry brother was able to virtue signal when he bought the Tesla, and now he can virtue signal when selling it.

He is a lying sack of dog doo.
He bought the Tesla as a political stunt, and he now knows the problems with a dying battery and nowhere to charge it and is going back to a real car, but he want to blame that on Trump.

I'd call him a jackass but I know a couple of mules who'd be upset with the comparison.

His favorite virtue signal automobile just lost its appeal because of his political bias. The left is totally lacking in self awareness.

He was an astronaut. So obviously he has a lot of space between his ears. It's also obvious that he suffers from TDS AND MDS. And on top of that he's a democrat. He's your typical hysterical, deranged lunatic, a buffoon. Put him in a straight jacket and he'll be fine.

#1, he is owned by CHINA! Many trips there and connections. My friend in AZ said he was riding around with a Chinese flag on his motorcycle while campaigning. Like SO many rats, his Chinese control is ignored by our media.
