Sen. Mark Kelly says he's taken his 'last trip' in his Tesla. He's not the only big name to ditch the brand.

Sen. Mark Kelly has become the latest big name to get rid of his Tesla over Elon Musk's politics.

The Arizona Democrat posted a video Thursday marking his "last trip" driving his Tesla. He wrote in the caption that he'd bought it because it was "fast like a rocket ship" but that driving it had come to "feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people."

"I think it's time to get rid of it," he said in the video, using an expletive to refer to Musk and saying he didn't want to drive a car designed by such a person.




He'd told reporters earlier this week that he was "looking into" selling his Tesla, though he noted "there's things I like about it."
