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.
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

I bet a lot of the cucks that preordered and bought them are financed to the absolute max and can’t afford to sell it now.

They couldn’t tell from the look of the thing? When he first unveiled it, I thought it he was trying to make some sort of joke. Legitimately thought he was trying to prank people! The design is atrocious!

Every time I see one I think, “that’s so ugly it’s almost cute.” I just love janky crap.

Janky. Tap can be great if not ‘designed’ by and supporting Nazis.
Love me a70s Gremlin.

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

It’s just a convenient loophole for fascists to pretend they’re not fascists.
“Oh no I gave them a fully refundable $100 to pre-order it, guess I’m locked into giving this seig heiling, election interfering, pedophilic elite illegal immigrant $100k.”
There’s a bunch of defenders in this very thread.

None of those amount to Nazism. You know what does? Throwing out a couple of Hitler salutes. But that didn’t happen until later.

Strong disagree. Buying Twitter to amplify the voices of Nazis is pretty straightforward actions of a Nazi

Ok, I agree that if musk’s objective in buying twitter was to amplify nazi voices, that confirms him as a nazi.
Do you have convincing proof that that was his objective? Convincing enough that some random guy buying a car who “doesn’t care about politics” would immediately believe he’s a nazi? I don’t think so.
He stated his aim was to remove barriers to free speech. People disagree over what speech should be protected as a matter of principle, so our hypothetical buyer may very well have thought that that was a good idea.
