Major tech YouTuber vows to get rid of every single Tesla vehicle he owns by the end of 2025

A major tech YouTuber has vowed to get rid of every single Tesla vehicle he owns by the end of 2025.

It seems like one influencer is tired of driving around in cars associated with Elon Musk after the billionaire has found himself in a new controversy this week.

Making an appearance at President Trump’s inauguration on Monday (January 20), Musk gave a speech afterwards where he was filmed making a one-armed gesture that people have likened to a Nazi salute.

The Tesla boss has already spoken out about the incident on his own social media platform X, formerly Twitter, where he wrote: “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”

However, this doesn’t seem to have convinced everyone and one tech YouTuber has shared his own thoughts on the matter, announcing that he will be getting rid of his Tesla vehicles.

Zack Nelson, better known online as @JerryRigEverything, quote-tweeted a clip where Musk can be seen raising his arm to a crowd of people.

Sharing the post, Nelson added: “I currently own 4 different @Tesla vehicles. By the end of 2025 I will own zero @Tesla vehicles.”

Musk’s ex-partner, singer Grimes, faced comments from X users urging her to comment on the controversial video.

Grimes tweeted: “To be clear I could go talk s*** and be on a bunch of magazine covers and be a feminist hero and get clout - but it would serve no purpose. I choose my children’s wellbeing.”

Another user replied: “We understand that you are unwilling to directly talk about his actions but please denounce all the all-right/Nazi’s that feel comfortable in your comments. It would do a lot of good to clarify your stance right now.”


This sparked a second emotional response from the singer who shares three children with Musk.

Grimes replied: “I’m happy to denounce Nazi-ism - and the far alt right. Would that help clear things up? I’ve just gotten out of breakfast and have to catch a flight, and am still debating how to approach things diplomatically because I feel in over my head. But if there’s concern about that, I am happy to set the record straight in a meaningful way.”

Nelson, whose technology reviews have earned him nearly nine million subscribers, has been vocal about his criticism of Musk in the past.

After Tesla’s ‘We, Robot’ event, Nelson tweeted: “Any journalist or YouTuber who covers this event *without* disclaiming that Elons been making the same fruitless autonomy claims for a decade now isn't doing their job.”
