\n\tSheryl Crow<\/a> is bidding farewell to her Tesla.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Grammy-winning singer, 63, announced on Instagram Friday (Feb. 14) that she\u2019s selling her Tesla and donating the proceeds to NPR. Her decision comes in response to Tesla CEO Elon Musk\u2019s push for government efficiency through his unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to cut federal programs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy parents always said\u2026 you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla,\u201d Crow captioned a video<\/a> of her cheerfully waving goodbye as her Tesla is hauled away.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cAll I Wanna Do\u201d singer continued, \u201cMoney donated to @npr, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes that the truth will continue to find its way to those willing to know the truth. #PresidentMusk #PresidentTrump #Call1-202-224-3141 #ProtectTheConstitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe short clip is set to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman\u2019s song \u201cTime to Say Goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCrow\u2019s post received praise from fellow artists like Kacey Musgraves and Margo Price, who expressed their support in the comments. \u201cSheryl Queen,\u201d Musgraves wrote, while Price added, \u201cLove to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in April 2019, Crow had praised her Tesla<\/a> after turning to then-Twitter for advice on fixing her car\u2019s screen, which had gone black. Musk responded quickly with helpful suggestions.<\/p>\n

\n\tCrow\u2019s decision to part with her Tesla comes as President Donald Trump continues his criticism of NPR, whose reporting he often disagrees with. Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr has launched an investigation<\/a> into NPR and PBS member stations over concerns that their \u201cbroadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials.\u201d Musk\u2019s DOGE initiative is also working to reportedly \u201cdelete entire agencies\u201d<\/a> in an effort to reduce government spending and jobs.<\/p>\n
