Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) touted his new vehicle on Sunday after he announced last week he would ditch his Tesla amid an ongoing back-and-forth with Elon Musk, the CEO of the electric vehicle company.
In a video posted Sunday to the social platform X, which Musk owns, Kelly showed off what he called his “new ride” while standing next to a Chevy Tahoe SUV in Washington.
“Got one of these in Tuscon as well. This one was made by union labor, United Auto Workers in Arlington, Texas. Always good to buy union cars, incredibly reliable,” Kelly said in the video. “And I’m looking forward to driving this for many, many years.”
It came just two days after he said he would look for a new ride since his Tesla was “built and designed by an a–hole.”
“Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country,” he said in a video last Friday.
“Talking about slashing Social Security, cutting health care benefits for poor people, for seniors. It’s one bad thing after the next,” he said, in reference to Musk’s leadership of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) efforts.
