Cybertrucks are starting to make their way out
They still look strange

But they didn't, it was the usual outrage merchants seeking to draw people into an argument over what is and isn't offensive to whichever group they are currently appealing to and weaponising that economically. Being offended is a mix of narcissism and below average intelligence. This is a personal characteristic of ego-driven narcissists regardless of political affiliation.

Nope - it was Musk again trying to blame others for his actions after his posts had negative results again, only you can't see this

I mean.... Surely we can all agree that saying "HEIL HITLER" is not really ok though? If you're an advertiser? I see that - I'm not offended, but I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with it as a brand. It's so, so simple. But that's the bit you seem to want to ignore.

Can't be happening. We were told in this thread that it would never make it to production

I mean, at this point they are just as much available as a Tesla Semi. But yeah they will probably make it to market, several years late, and lacking all the features that were promised.

Slightly linked in that it's a musk tweet
we also casually mention Space X launches on this thread, because Rockets are cool - right?

After his post that started all this, within 12 hours, MM had their in depth post on the advertising drama published. From 10pm the previous evening, to 10am the next day. They have Musk derangement syndrome.

Branding his views as anti-Semitic, or supporting blatant white supremacy, racism, or Nazism is hyperbolic outrage peddling. It does nothing to further their own cause, or the cause of actual people suffering from those sort of attacks. It's virtue signaling at its highest level.

Whilst it's certainly a phrase that is used and justified by both sides to talk about the other - “When someone is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

Only you can't see this.

LOL - Now it's Musk derangement syndrome...

I started ignoring him ages ago.

He's a fully vested fruit.loop based on what I've seen on other threads.

Yep. Memetastic wibble pedlar.

Saw a decent tweet this morning that since Musk had lost his wife, kids & spaceship, he amounts to an entire sub genre of country music yet to be discovered.

[RichTT]

Ah, you guys. You're hilarious.

RichTT said:

When you're trying to conflate statements like "Heil Hitler" with commentary like "outrage merchants" you've lost all credibility.

[President Merkin]

Well are we hilarious or outraged? I wish that Q-Anon guy would make up his mind.

This tickled me, thsnks.

As for the Cybertruck.. I'm sure the 10 deliveries to handpicked ultra stans (imagine RichTT but even more credulous & parasocial, if you can) will have decent panel gaps and overall build quality. Since those 10 will exist and are totally not a PR stunt, naturally the other billion rolling off the production line will be just as good. The Cybertruck won't be another niche product that only hardcore stans can live with. I am big brain smart.

Regular reminder that in the conspiracy theorist world, Soros is shorthand for evil jews secretly running the world. Anyone invoking that name is by definition a ridiculous spoon.
