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.

Regardless of if Musk is crazy or not, they still bought an oversized truck for nothing other than to inflate their ego.

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.

Absolutely right

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

Musk is a fascist

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.

Elon never "went crazy", he's just a liar. And the bigger his following became the less he needed to lie about his opinions or goals.

Engineers like Thunderf00t could already prove Elon was full of shit long before it became incredibly obvious.

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

Is someone just walking around with a printer?

I’m guessing they see this truck regularly. So this took some planning.

Cybertruck ownership is the punishment

The pre-orders were open before that though. It was several years until they went into production.

Though one could argue the unveiling of the Cybertruck was the first sign he was going crazy.

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.

The reply is just as inane as the bumper sticker.

Elon has always been a gross capitalist shithead.

No "crazier" than the rest. No need for ableism.

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.

Elon has always been a psychotic piece of shit. Anyone thats paid attention to him since fuckin paypal has known that.

People just didnt care, in the classic self centered way, until it started to personally affect them. . and the biggest way it affects them now is riding around in his terrible fuckin vehicles, which creates an association with right wing assholery that they didnt want to have public.

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