Not absolutely, because a company being able to deactivate your purchased property for ulterior reasons is more dystopian.

I also suspect the rapper wasn't exactly praising the cybertruck, so that would add "for ~~insulting~~ misrepresenting? a company". That's even more dystopian.

You don't have to suspect anything, watch the video. He's hyping the Cybertruck, hyping, "I'm RICH BEEYOTCH!" This is Tesla trying to distance themselves from that message.

While that song and message are shit, so is Tesla.

This is peak face eating leopards content all around.

Also I wonder if a white rapper singing the same song would have had his shit-pyramid disabled as fast.

Tesla factories have had a racism problem for years.

I have have had it up to here with people calling Elon a racist Nazi with a mangled penis.
