"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,"

I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.

Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered "road rage" in some places and can get you ticketed.

Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

I point and laugh at the ones I see here in Seattle. You can do a pretty good show of it from a bike while passing them being stuck in traffic lol

"I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I'm richer and better than them."

Later...

"Waaaah! Everyone's being mean to me because I'm telling everyone I'm richer and better than them!"

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

Mission accomplished buddy.

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.

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.

Oh? How does it feel? Turnabout is fair play.

Behold! The Golden Swasticar!

Wow. Even if Musk was still an OK guy and the cybertruck a decent car - a golden car simply points out the owners mental deficits.

I saw a fully hogh gloss chrome car the other day. No idea what make/model but it was a jarring sight and hard on the eyes due to reflecting the sun. I didn't feel nearly as much disdain towards the driver as I do from the photo of a gold dumpster with windows.
