It’s true, the cybertruck is an amazing product. It’s frankly unbelievable that that thing actually exists, can move (generally speaking) and even has people who like its exterior as “beautiful”.

Amazing, really.

THIS is why people say you're in a cult.

I don't know if it was always like this, like pre internet, but I remember when I first started hearing people concerning themselves with the profitability of corporations online.

It was somewhere around the start of the eternal September (I was one of the unwashed tech illiterate masses), and I witnessed people having the most furious debates about video game company / console profitability, and it just never ended.

I wonder if it was just my first encounter to seeing so many Americans in one (virtual) place, or if it was the latent tribalism of the internet, or just nerds having fun crunching their nerd numbers. But I still see way too much of it.

It has got better in some of the chiller places on the internet, though. Which are about the only places I frequent.

Curious to hear other people's perspectives on this kind of parasocial relationship with corps / brands.

I think it was a different flavor.

You'd have your fave department store, mall, multiplex, fast food joint, TV channel etc

Probably a bag holder who bought Tesla stock at the peak.

This is 100% engagement bait.

With how some of those Muskrats are, I'm honestly not sure about that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

As beautifully as the name fits, I feel bad for the actual muskrats of our creeks and marshes.

Definitely did NOT perform analingus on the dirty butthole of Elon Musk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Don't be mean. He really really wants to.

Is this the legendary free market when you must buy cybertruck or mElon will be sad?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Have to feed melon husk more money else he will go hungry.

this is yet another example of a second generation billionaire thinking that all the ideas that his brain produces must be phenomenal.

Even after reading this the Cybertruck is still the dumbest thing in this photo.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Imo, exploiting dumb people is pretty smart! Unethical but clever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, it takes a fucking GENIUS to figure that out. /s 🙄
