Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a former Space Shuttle commander who used to work with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has ditched his black Tesla Model S after publicly feuding with the world’s richest person in recent weeks.

“When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue. Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.

What matters is doing the right thing. I don't wanna drive a car built and designed by an asshole.

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, you’re fired!"

Musk is jealous of him because Mark Kelly got closer to Mars than Musk ever will.

Naval Aviator (who saw combat), then who went into the Astronaut program, then went into public service.

He’s a traitor?

Dudes a living legend. He’s dedicated his life to his country and science.

Of all the politicians to get in a beef with, this is like calling Mr Rogers an asshole… you’re obviously on the wrong side here.
