Kia Norway has removed an Instagram post that mocked Tesla CEO Elon Musk after it sparked backlash from electric vehicle supporters on social media.
The now-deleted Instagram post showed a Kia EV3 rear with a sticker reading, “I bought this after Elon went crazy.”
Tesla advocates and employees criticized the post, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted saying, 'They really did that?'
Kia Norway Communications Manager explained that the post was intended as humor and not to offend anyone. The post has been taken down to avoid confusion and unnecessary provocation.
