Lewinsky went on to reveal that she used to own a used Subaru in college that was worth $1200 in parts, in a response to a fan tweet. The responses were split between the Subaru community and Tesla drivers. Many users tweeted about their disdain for Elon Musk and expressed Lewinsky's tweet as tone-deaf during a time when most people can't pay their rent amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

People even dragged their pets into the Twitter debate stating Subaru loves dogs and Tesla is for cat owners.
