It seems like the left’s meltdown over Elon Musk has entered its next phase—trading in their Teslas in dramatic, self-righteous tantrums. The latest to throw a fit? Democrat Congressman Mark Kelly, who ditched his Tesla and blamed it on Musk’s destruction of America.
You know, because that’s how governance works—your electric car somehow represents national policy now.
But the real kicker? Kelly turned in his Tesla for a gas-guzzling Chevy Tahoe. Yes, the same guy who probably preached about saving the planet is now happily burning fossil fuels.
Let’s break down why Mark Kelly’s hissy fit is so ridiculous and what it really tells us about the left’s selective outrage.

The Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome
For years, Elon Musk was a leftist hero.
- He made electric cars cool
- He sent Americans to space again
- He was the quirky billionaire that Hollywood and Democrats adored
But that all changed when Musk committed the ultimate sin—he allowed free speech. When he took over Twitter (now X) and stopped censoring conservatives, the left lost their minds. That’s when the narrative shifted. Suddenly, Musk wasn’t a visionary genius anymore; he was a “threat to democracy.”
Now, Trump has asked Musk to head up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and clean up waste and fraud, and the left is losing their collective minds. Because let’s be real—if there’s anything Democrats hate, it’s accountability.
Kelly’s Manufactured Outrage
Kelly’s rant is laughable for so many reasons. First, he actually said that getting into his Tesla reminds him of the “damage” Musk and Trump are doing to the country. Really? A car designed by Musk is somehow a political trauma trigger now?
Then he rattles off the usual Democrat fearmongering:
✔️ Trump and Musk want to cut Social Security (False)
✔️ They’re cutting healthcare for seniors (Also false)
✔️ Musk is firing veterans (Where does this even come from?)
The best part? His grand conclusion—Musk is an a**hole, so he just can’t drive a Tesla anymore. That’s the level of maturity we’re dealing with here.
The Hypocrisy of Trading a Tesla for a Tahoe
The funniest thing about Kelly’s stunt? He didn’t replace his Tesla with another electric vehicle. He swapped it out for a Chevy Tahoe, a gas-guzzling SUV.
So, let’s get this straight—Kelly bought a Tesla to “save the planet” but now that Musk is considered the enemy, he’s perfectly fine rolling coal in a giant SUV? This isn’t about principles. It’s about performative, partisan nonsense.
When Musk was a media darling, Teslas were the ultimate status symbol for progressives. Now that he’s seen as right-wing, Teslas are tainted. This proves, once again, that for the left, everything is about who makes it, not what it does.
The Astronaut vs. The Space Pioneer
Here’s where this whole thing gets even more ridiculous. Mark Kelly is a former astronaut. You’d think a guy who literally rode rockets for a living would respect the greatest space pioneer of our time.
Musk revitalized American spaceflight after NASA became an overpriced, bureaucratic mess. SpaceX now dominates space exploration—something the government could never do on its own. And yet, Kelly, of all people, is whining about Musk while sitting in his fossil-fuel-powered Tahoe.
It’s a perfect example of how the modern left hates success when it’s not controlled by them.
The Real Reason They Hate Musk
This isn’t about Tesla. It’s not even about Musk’s wealth or influence. It’s about power.
Musk was fine when he was just an eccentric billionaire making cool tech. But once he started challenging their control, they turned on him. Now that Trump has tapped him to expose government waste, the attacks are getting even more unhinged.
Mark Kelly’s Tesla tantrum is a perfect encapsulation of the leftist mindset:
✔️ It’s not about policy—it’s about punishing those they disagree with
✔️ It’s not about saving the planet—it’s about control
✔️ It’s not about cutting waste—it’s about protecting bloated government spending
This whole meltdown just shows how desperate they are. They don’t want Musk anywhere near the government because they know he’ll expose just how corrupt and inefficient it really is.
And that’s why they’re ditching their Teslas—not because they care about anything real, but because they can’t stand that Musk won’t play by their rules.

Our spaceman kelly, called my friend Elon, I think an asshole. Now mr kelly, u will apologize for that, and not stupe to a little teen age kid, chump, u need to grow up. How is it that u got elected, while working with China, all these years. I think an investigation is warranted, to make sure about u.
When I watched Mark Kelly make such a fool of himself I wondered how this childish acting man made it to be an astronaut, and then to be elected to office, he must have another persona that he brings out at certain times!! I was embarrassed to know that he is one of our astronauts I have always had such a high regard for these people. Grow up Mr Kelly!!
