    Owning a cybertruck is an indication the driver is a Nazi. It was always an indicator of very poor taste, but now it marks you as a Nazi. Don’t bother trying to change my mind. I know it, my cat knows it, the mould in that tupperware I keep putting off opening in the far reaches of my fridge knows it.

    No excuses now, and no bumper stickers will dissuade me. It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.

      No excuses now

      I believe this.

      At the same time, they’ll get what’s coming to them. They bought a shitty cybertruck that will break down and has shitty resell value.

      this is not an endorsement of Musk or of Tesla or of cybertruck drivers - but this is a Very Online take. My boss’ husband drives a cybertruck, he doesn’t know what tiktok is, he doesn’t know what a meme is nor does he understand them when he sees them (he asks who it’s a photo of), the only news he consumes is in regards to logistics and supply chain and a little bit of the stock market.

      I imagine he has as much understanding of why people hate elon musk as to I do as to why people love Sidney Crosby and hate Alexander Ovechkin - two people I had never heard of or know nothing about before googling “hockey players people love and hate.”

      I won’t even remember their names in 5 minutes. I imagine a fair amount of cybertruck owners are like that.

        I guess that’s fair, though my 89 year old dad who’s also not terminally online knows this, so I have a hard time with excuses now.

        Much as it sucks, if I see your boss’s husband driving that crime against fingers, I’m still gonna see him as a Nazi. Maybe someone should tell him, and show him the video.

          random people on the street flip him off, and some people have thrown stuff at him. He thinks they’re weirdos and it’s kinda funny. 🤷‍♂️

          also I’m not going to tell the bosses husband people think he’s a nazi. I’m going to take my pay and enjoy my weekends and vacations.

      Very early on, I think there were some well-meaning people who were really excited about it. The idea of an all-electric truck was brand new, and the promise was huge. It unfortunately wasn’t until after many Cybertruck preorders had been secured that Elon plainly revealed his true colors, and then after it was delivered that people found out it was a piece of garbage

        Idk, the first cyber trucks delivered nov 30 2023.

        His takeover of Twitter was 2022, with plenty of bright red flags The “pedo guy” thing was 2019 All of his COVID violations were extremely public in 2020 and 2021

        I think you’d have to be living under a rock to be completely unaware of what he was by the time preorders were locked in

        Yeah, true. But we’re like several years past that now. If you could afford one of those sins against the design gods, you could afford to take the L by now.

      … It’s been long enough, sell the thing or start sieg heiling.

      Or at least sieg selling… AMIRIGHT? 😅

      I’m really hoping to pick one up cheap and make the monster-truck-DeLorean-time-machine of my dreams reality 🤓 But I’m only going up to $3.50 USD… gotta’ crash the whole CyberShmuck™ economy in the process 🤑
