GOLD Cybertruck…

“Look at me! Pay attention to me!”

“…oh no, not like that.”

There's only one reason to get a cybertruck, the one thing it is excellent at: grabbing attention.

Mission accomplished buddy.

"That's why I came to this country. I pursued my dream. Now, I'm enjoying the free speech, but with this taking a different turn, that made me very concerned," Jaroje said.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean your free from consequences.

"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human," he said.

He is encouraging a nazi oligarch through the purchase of what is a gross flashy display of his wealth in a time where the wealth gap has never been so wide. You're just asking for it at this point.

That goes to the museum of the 2k20s. Everyone with a sturdy key or a can of paint may leave a messsge on that time capsule. Imaging having a guarded wiki page about you the guy who painted a dick on the golden disk of these pathetic times.

You bought a car that is ugly, isn’t good at being a truck, has a dubious safety record, can lock you inside and get you killed, is tracking basically everything you do if you’re anywhere near it, and can rust at the drop of a hat.

Maybe next time don’t buy a swasticar

*drop of water. The hat will scratch it.

If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor.

If that's what you believe, maybe don't drive a symbol that is the opposite of these?

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 50 points 6 hours ago

Oh no. Anyways…

Man, if only we were hip to what an asshole musk was a month ago. His fans could have known that buying a cybertruck was going to get negative attention. But I guess there were no signs to warn us. And really, who drives cybertrucks more than single moms living paycheck to paycheck, day laborers, and other marginalized folks? We should just assume that anyone in a gold cyber truck had zero idea what they were doing, had no intention of being an edgy dbag, and only uses it to deliver fresh produce to the local food banks.

Dude who can take anyone who drives this thing seriously.

YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS.

Me driving around in my clown car "I just don't understand why everyone keeps calling me a clown and laughing at me 😭"

It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor.

That's the entire point of this administration: retaliation. That's why we're here in the first place.
