Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow recently disclosed a harrowing incident involving an armed intruder entering her Tennessee property. The intrusion occurred shortly after she publicly sold her Tesla vehicle as a form of protest against Elon Musk’s political affiliations and actions.
The Incident
In an interview with Variety, Crow revealed that an armed man entered the barn on her 50-acre Nashville property. This unsettling event transpired after she shared a video on social media in February, depicting her Tesla being towed away. Crow had sold the car to protest Musk’s political involvement, particularly his role in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump. She donated the proceeds from the sale to NPR, expressing concern over potential funding cuts to the organization. EW.comBusiness Insider
Crow’s Response
Despite the frightening experience, Crow remains steadfast in her convictions. She emphasized her commitment to activism and her desire to set an example for her two adopted sons. Crow stated, “I feel like I’m fighting for my kids. Also, that’s the way I was raised.” EW.com
Political Climate and Activism
Crow’s activism is not new; she previously faced backlash in the 1990s for criticizing Walmart’s gun sales in her song “Love Is a Good Thing.” Now residing in Tennessee, a state with a strong gun culture, she acknowledges the challenges of advocating for her beliefs in such an environment. Nevertheless, Crow continues to engage with her local representatives, voicing her concerns and striving for change.
