NYU professor, podcaster says he ‘took a giant dump’ in his Tesla before selling it due to anger at Elon Musk

NYU professor and “Pivot” podcast host Scott Galloway said he defecated in the passenger seat of his Tesla before selling it, describing the act as payback after Elon Musk criticised him online. The anecdote came during a live discussion about Musk’s political influence, drawing attention to the broader dispute between the two commentators and the Tesla chief.

Galloway called the car a “great” one and joked that his action was bad for its resale value; Tesla and Musk were contacted for comment. The conversation also covered Musk’s political support, reports about Cybertruck production and Starlink’s role in Ukraine. Galloway has accused Musk of betraying the West over reported limits on Starlink access, while Musk said Ukraine’s use of the service for offensive drone strikes breached its restrictions.
