Ted Cruz Reveals He’s a Big Fan of Fart Sound Feature in Teslas

Ted Cruz confessed to his love of fart sounds — specifically the flatulence sound feature in Tesla vehicles.

The Texas senator made the tongue-in-cheek admission on Thursday’s episode of his podcast The Verdict with Ted Cruz — where he spent time reacting to Elon Musk‘s purchase of Twitter shares.

Co-host Michael Knowles started the conversation saying, “Elon Musk is going in and taking over these companies that have entrenched themselves either through chicanery, some sort of fraudulent practices by exploiting legal loopholes that give them liability protection.”

“He’s just going in as a non-woke person and saying ‘no that’s mine now,'” Knowles concluded.

Cruz began by saying “I’m so happy about it, I may go out and buy a damn Tesla. Like – I really – and by the way my girls want me to get a Tesla anyway. You know why the girls love the Tesla?”

“Why?” Knowles asked reluctantly.

“Because the central computer makes fart noises in each of the seats and for an 11-year-old and a 13-year old that is the coolest feature. And I gotta admit as a 51-year-old, that’s a pretty cool feature although I don’t – I probably shouldn’t admit that publicly, as I say it into a TV camera,” Cruz said.

“But it is compelling to an 11-year-old and 13-year-old,” Cruz said.

Turning the conversation back to Musk, Knowles said “I hope he makes a lot of money doing it.”

“Absolutely,” Cruz agreed.
