tesla is not elon

But they pay him tens on millions as a bonus for being an idiot

Edit: yeah it’s billions. The amount of money they waste on this cocksucker is incomprehensible.

[-] venoft@lemmy.world 83 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Billions. They paid him the same amount of money (as a bonus!) as Bill Gates had in total when he was the worlds richest person in 2007.

...tens of ~~millions~~ billions...

FTFY

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 57 points 5 months ago

Tens of millions is drastically understating tens of billions.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 13 points 5 months ago

The difference is literally tens of billions.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 34 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Calling him a "cocksucker" is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It's an insane amount of money.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 99 points 5 months ago

They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 40 points 5 months ago

Subtle wasn’t the intent here. But I do like your thought process here.

This is dumb. Sure Elon Musk is a dickhead. And sure Cybertruck is a dumb vehicle that only dickheads would want to have.

But I'd rather the dickheads be driving a Cybertruck than some other massive vehicle that runs on fossil fuels.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 56 points 5 months ago

All car companies are run by evil dickheads. Most of them just make less noise than Elon.

[-] VirtualOdour@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago

I bet a lot have worse opinions too, they literally conspired with oil companies to avoid fixing climate change and certain companies like vw actively put in measures to cheat emissions tests.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 months ago

If you think spacex and starlink are making the environment a better place, I think you might be in for a surprise.

All private cars, regardless of the fuel source, are climate disasters.

@SpaceCowboy @return2ozma ~60% of Tesla's profits come from the sale of carbon credits, which enable other massive vehicles that run on fossil fuels to be built. E-cars are not about "saving the planet" they are pure Greenwash which is saving the motor industry.

Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.

Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, [...]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.

Wow, how unbased can an article get?

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Why bother trying to make something uglier that is already maximum ugly?

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 5 months ago

Vandalised? More like improved.

[-] LovesTha@floss.social 33 points 5 months ago

@return2ozma Older Tesla's one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.

They are lucky it's just paint.

I'm sure paint comes off 'stainless' steel real easy....

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago

Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago

The truck is not really washable. They will absolutely fuck it up cleaning that out. It can't even resist rain.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You're suppose to use gasoline or kerosene to clean stainless steel cars. At least the Deloreans came with instructions on how to do it. Not sure if Tesla saw fit to mention that.

"It makes no sense to vandalize Tesla’s property because you dislike Elon"

Bahhahaahha. Bet.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 27 points 5 months ago

It also makes no sense that Elon isn't in prison but here we are.

Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else's property because of him isn't cool.

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 58 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.

Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn't going to take this loss. Tesla will.

[-] Tangentism@lemmy.ml 18 points 5 months ago

Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!

Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.

I don't know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I'm not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can't get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose "cybetrucks" need a new paint job.

Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.

[-] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 16 points 5 months ago

I'm not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla's.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
