Donning a "Make America Goth Again" cap and waving around a chainsaw, the "Mistress of Dark" herself took a stand on social media this weekend. In a post to Instagram on
Cassandra Peterson, known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, has publicly criticized Elon Musk by stating "Elon sux" and donated her Tesla to NPR in response to Musk's decision to label NPR as "state-affiliated media" on Twitter. Peterson expressed her disappointment with Musk's actions, particularly highlighting his apparent misunderstanding of NPR's funding and independence. She decided to give her Tesla to NPR, suggesting they could auction it off to raise funds, as a form of protest against Musk's management of Twitter and his impact on media freedom. This move was also influenced by her frustration with the changes at Twitter since Musk's acquisition, including the reinstatement of previously banned accounts and the spread of misinformation.
