Jamie Lynn Spears clarifies Tesla, Elon Musk comments blaming them for her cats deaths – Fox News
Jamie Lynn Spears had some choice words for Elon Musk and his car company, Tesla, after appearing to initially blame the vehicles for killing her cats.
The 29-year-old sister of Britney Spears said in a now-deleted Instagram video that her cats were run over by a Tesla because the felines couldn’t hear the car coming.
« We have now lost — I don’t want to tell you how many cats — because they don’t hear the Tesla crank and unfortunate things happen and it’s really devastating and tragic for everyone involved, » Spears said in the video.
She called Tesla « a secret cat-killer » and explained how the cars should be equipped with « noises that bother cat or animal ears when it cranks up, so that way, they know something’s happening and they aren’t caught off guard and things don’t end in a very tragic way. »

« Elon Musk, let’s figure this out, » Spears added. « You owe me a couple cats. »
In a later video, the former Nickelodeon star walked back some of her comments and clarified that she « did not run over any cats » and that Tesla is « not to be blamed. »

Spears added, « I was only making a suggestion about something I think would be extremely helpful, and the geniuses at @Teslamotors are the best to go to for said issue. »
Tesla’s electric-powered cars don’t make as much noise as gas-powered ones and some people argue it endangers vision- and hearing-impaired people.
