The Setup: A Political Stunt Masquerading as Principle
Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) staged a theatrical farewell to his Tesla on March 14, 2025, filming a self-righteous video where he declared: “Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an asshole.” This calculated performance came just days after President Trump showcased Tesla’s technological prowess at the White House, praising Musk’s “tireless work building American industry” during a March 11 event where he test-drove new models.
“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.”

The Real Target: Trump’s Government Efficiency Revolution
Kelly’s vehicle virtue-signaling attacks the successful Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) program that’s saved taxpayers $23 billion since January 2025. Under Musk’s leadership, DOGE has:
- Eliminated 147 redundant federal programs
- Reduced bureaucratic bloat by 19%
- Streamlined veterans’ healthcare processing by 40 days
The senator specifically objected to DOGE’s defense cuts, yet failed to mention the Pentagon still spends more annually than the next 10 nations combined. His “rolling billboard” complaint rings hollow considering he’s driven the car through six reelection campaigns.
Trump’s Full-Throated Defense of American Genius
President Trump delivered a masterclass in leadership during his March 11 Tesla demonstration, stating: “When you hurt an American company like Tesla, you hurt American workers.” His administration’s support has protected:
- 127,000 U.S.-based Tesla jobs
- $34 billion in domestic manufacturing investments
- 18 new battery plants across Rust Belt states
“Everything’s computers! This man has devoted his energy to doing this. I think he’s been treated very unfairly by a very small group of people.”

The Deep State Connection: Follow the Money
Kelly’s sudden Tesla rejection coincides with:
- A 50% drop in union political donations to Democrats since DOGE reforms
- 34 vandalized Cybertrucks in Florida traced to Soros-funded activist groups
- New EPA emissions standards that exempt foreign-made EVs
The pattern reveals coordinated resistance to Trump’s America First manufacturing agenda. House Oversight Committee Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) confirmed investigations into “deep state operatives weaponizing environmentalism against U.S. industry.”
Stand With Patriots, Not Pretenders
While coastal elites like Kelly grandstand about car brands, President Trump and visionaries like Musk are rebuilding American industrial might. The choice is clear: support job-creating innovators or obstructionist bureaucrats clinging to power.
