Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) revealed this week that he is considering selling his Tesla car after the company's CEO, Elon Musk, called him a "traitor" for visiting troops in Ukraine.
While speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday, Kelly was asked if he would sell the vehicle "in light of all these criticisms."
"Yes," Kelly replied. "I'm looking into it. It's kind of hard for me at this point just to ride the car. There's things I like about it."

"Well, it's a little janky inside," he continued. "It's kind of cheaply built on the inside, but I love the performance."
Kelly noted that his Tesla was the "closest thing you can get" to launching an F-18 off an aircraft carrier.
