ALBANY, New York — An upstate New York lawmaker who’s said she’s “disgusted” with Elon Musk is targeting Tesla’s operations.
State Sen. Pat Fahy, an Albany Democrat who’s championed electric vehicles, introduced a bill Wednesday that would yank permits for Tesla’s five in-person sales locations in New York. Other electric vehicle makers would also be allowed to compete for the permits under the legislation.
“No matter what we do, we’ve got to take this from Elon Musk,” Fahy said. “He’s part of an effort to go backwards.”

Musk’s close association with President Donald Trump as he spearheads an aggressive, fast-moving effort to shrink the federal workforce has become an issue for Tesla in Democratic states.
