As much as I LOL'd and agree with the sentiment, this is almost entirely about politics, not infrastructure -- the only tenuous connection is that the political shithead happens to own a car company. As such, please try to resist the temptation to post more stuff like this here.

Edit to address some feedback:

Yes, !fuckcars is political, but that doesn't mean everything political is on-topic. If this had been about Musk interfering with CA high-speed rail, it would be unambiguously on-topic. If this had been about the harmful effects of those trucks on other road users, it would be unambiguously on-topic (although for the record, I dislike threads hating on any one particular type of car because they risk missing the point that all of them contribute to most of the problems).

But it was neither of those things. It was just pointing out the dishonesty of people who bought a particular product with a particular political connotation. The fact that the product happened to be a vehicle was irrelevant to the idea being conveyed. That makes it a good fit for somewhere like !politicalmemes or !enoughmuskspam, maybe, but not here.

He first publicly showed how crazy he is during the kids getting stuck in the cave, then he got more bold.

But yeah, cybertruck started being sold after he started doing Nazi salutes.

He was a scumbag union buster long before he "went crazy". His parents used slave labor to mine emeralds before his company built cars. The people of this country will believe any bubbleheaded legend of a good rich guy not look him up until he shows his ass. Too little, too late.

Yeah, sorry man, that doesn't work on Cybertrucks, only the old Teslas.

Actually that's a factory bumper sticker. Trying to make that brand new penis-free sheen last longer.

We knew he was not an upstanding guy long before he bought Twitter. Just not everyone was paying attention. As well I hope they enjoy their inescapable burn chamber. That thing is more of a hazard to the owner than those around them than the Pinto was. Regular Car Reviews did a good one on it.

It took me a while to realize he was a crazy con man, to my fault, it was only when he started meddling with stuff I had some understanding. Around the same time, he was investing in movies and making cameos: Thank You for Smoking, Iron Man...

But people were already pointing that out from his time on Paypal. And you can find stuff even before that. So no,

He was crazy/con man even before Tesla.

There is no excuse. Just because there was a time that he posted rainbows and talked about climate does not sane wash his actions, it is just that he was targeting another kind of people. Just like companies rainbow their logos during pride month.

I am against hating on people for their cars, only because I have also hated most of my cars. The Volvo was a piece of shit, don't blame, me I just got stuck with it.

I would drive a cybertruck because it's funny, and I will enjoy all of the resultant stupidity. I refuse to pay more than $2K for it, though.

This is the man cybertruck owners support with their purchases:

Cybercuck, and Tesla vehicles in general, can be hated on their own merits alone, or rather, lack thereof.

Mediocre, buggy, poorly-constructed death traps that burn people alive inside.

If you bought a used one because you need a truck and their are really cheap used, are you still a PoS?

Seeing a cybertruck in the wild is the visual equivalent of stepping in dog shit. I saw one the other day up here in Canada that was covered in maple leaves and felt massively offended

Regardless of he's crazy or not, they still bought an oversized truck for nothing other than to inflate their ego.

I guess he didn't draw the line at the salutes?

Absolutely right

And Elmo has been a total cock head long before he performed his nazi salutes

There's this annoying Cybertruck with this custom paint job that parks on my street sometimes. Usually does quite a poor job of it.

I see it also parked in an empty lot next to a little shopping center a few miles away.

We were having a neighborhood gathering and somebody brought it up, wondering whose it was.

It belongs to the boyfriend of the daughter of one of the neighbors who doesn't socialize with the rest of us. Turns out he owns a barbershop in the plaza, but it's too big to fit on any of the parking spots so he parks it in the empty lot next door.

Anyways a couple months later and I'm in physical therapy (sciatica hit me real hard), and I overhear this older guy a few tables down, talking to the PTA. Real loud, hard to not overhear. Total boomer energy.

He talked about his son having gotten a cybertruck, and put a bunch of money into it with custom paint and whatnot...and so I butt in..."is your son a barber?".

Sure enough, he is. It's his dad.

Does this make me a townie? This feels like a townie kind of story.

The cybertruck itself is evidence that he wasn't in his right mind.

~~Cybertruck~~ Swasticar

That cybertruck reminds me of that Simpson's episode where Homer designed and built a vehicle at his brother's car company.
