Kia deletes post mocking Tesla and CEO Elon Musk

Carmaker Kia has recently uploaded a photograph on Instagram, getting a wide attention from Tesla community but for its mocking text for the electric vehicle (EV) maker and its CEO, Elon Musk.

The post, published by Kia Norway, shows a Kia EV3 model with a sticker featuring “I BOUGHT THIS AFTER ELON WENT CRAZY”. The post was later deleted after Tesla community started noticing the image content. Many users took a screenshot of the post before removal and shared on X (Twitter).

These types of stickers are common among Musk’s hater in the US, but this is a new move against Tesla after a recent turn of event.

Still, a multinational company involving itself into such an act makes the entire thing is not common. Meanwhile, Europe is also erupting with these so-called environmentalists and left-wing people that are protesting against Tesla and its growing foot in the European EV industry.

On the other hand, Kia has not published any statement on this matter.

Since, large companies hire a separate PR team, this stunt is may have been pulled by one of these European PR employees who don’t like Tesla boss’s participation in the US’s Department of Government Efficiency, widely known as DOGE.

That’s not it, attack on Tesla cars and Supercharger has also increased. Last week, an arson attack was reported in Littleton, Massachusetts, flaming numerous Superchargers at the site.

Activists are also launching staged protest against Musk around the US in the wake of false media reporting misrepresenting his gesture to the audience at President Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony.
