Conservatives ripped Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly on social media after he posted a video explaining that Elon Musk is the reason he is getting rid of his Tesla.

More than 70 demonstrators rallied Friday outside a Tesla Service Center on Tchoupitoulas Street, decrying President Trump's installation of CEO Elon Musk as his senior adviser and Musk's mass terminations via his Department of Government Efficiency as "unprecedented and wrong.

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.
