Scott Galloway, a professor at New York University and host of the podcast "Pivot," stated that he defecated in his Tesla before selling it as an act of defiance against Elon Musk. Galloway made the claim during a live taping of his podcast in Los Angeles, explaining that Musk's online behavior towards him prompted the action.
"As a true story. I had a Tesla. Great car. He started sh---posting me on Twitter, so I sold it," Galloway said. "Not before taking a giant dump in the passenger seat. True story. Not good for resale value."
Galloway also criticized Musk's influence, particularly his decisions regarding the Starlink satellite internet service and its use in Ukraine. He compared Musk's actions to treason, referencing the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for espionage in the 1950s.
"My question is, or my thesis is, we took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I'll make it, and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West," Galloway stated on his "Prof G Podcast."
Musk had previously explained his decision to restrict Starlink speeds in Ukraine by stating that the service was intended for civilian use and its use for offensive drone strikes was never permitted. Galloway and his co-host, Kara Swisher, expressed concern about the power an unelected private citizen like Musk wields over governmental decisions and international affairs.
