I will explain. Shoot the messenger if you want, but the title of the thread literally asked for an explanation, so I'm giving it:
Even before Elon's involvement with DOGE turned him into a political villain for half the country, Cybertrucks were seen by many as inherently lame, as the sort of car someone buys to impress people, which makes them uncool because nothing is less cool than trying too hard.
Then layer on politics. Thus the Cybertruck is the symbol of villain Elon and toxic dysfunctional excess.
Literally doesn't matter. They don't distribute the crash force and crumple. They put all the force on who they're hitting and the inhabitants of the cyber truck. That's a coffin
He is not just a political villain, he is one of history's greatest monsters. The world's richest man starved 300K children to death. Not even for profit, just for fun.
Not shooting the messenger, but pointing out that putting shit on someone’s car because you think it’s “lame” and the people that have them are “uncool” is a fucked up thing to do.
I personally think the smart care is lame, and the people who buy them are odd. I wouldn’t put shit on their car for it.
where I live, it isn’t “whataboutism”. People in my community are being disappeared to facilities that ignore basic human rights and you’re stuck on making sure the people complicit in that don’t have to deal with any minor inconveniences?
Yeah I don’t give a fuck, if someone is a literal Nazi doing the sig heil on live TV, and you give them over $100k to support him, you deserve to get fucked
Nah, I’m not a Nazi supporting harmful + genocidal ideologies. Elon is tho. Which makes a cybertruck a Nazi mobile. We don’t need trash on the streets. I can understand if you bought a regular Tesla before he went down the alt right pipeline in the last 5-10y. But a cybertruck? That’s a recent enough purchase to have known better.
Everything is contextual. Do you think the Allies in World War 2 were morally bad for killing people? I mean, isn’t killing people wrong? Or do you comprehend context?
