Elizabeth Warren, what have you done now? Carlos Tavares, the CEO of newly formed auto conglomerate Stellantis which owns the Jeep Cherokee brand has expressed openness to the change after the nation’s largest Native American tribe urged Jeep to ditch the branding. Not satisfied with Mr. Potato Head (not Brian Stelter) and Dr. Seuss, cancel culture roars on as this country crumbles.
“We are ready to go to any point, up to the point where we decide with the appropriate people and with no intermediaries,” Tavares told the paper.
“At this stage, I don’t know if there is a real problem,” he added, noting that he is not personally involved in the talks with the tribe. “But if there is one, well, of course we will solve it.”
Tavares addressed the issue after Chuck Hoskin Jr., the Cherokee Nation’s principal chief, asked Jeep to stop using the tribe’s name for the first time last month.
“I’m sure this comes from a place that is well-intended, but it does not honor us by having our name plastered on the side of a car,” Hoskin told Car and Driver magazine.
