Why are people defending physical violence over a vehicle? I don’t get it. Sure, he made a poor purchasing decision. No wonder, the culture war has been so successful at dividing us.
The article never suggests any physical violence, though. The problems he reported to CBS are a “hateful sticker”, “threats online”, “somebody tried to cut me off” and “three guys pointing the middle finger and […] screaming at me”. Not super cool either, but they’re not physical violence. Those last two might even be legal, depending on the circumstances.
For anybody curious, since the article doesn’t mention what the “hateful sticker” was, from a quick search it was: “NAZIS FUCK OFF”.
Pretty sure the last two are not just legal, but required under MA law while merging onto any highway.
Really the bottom three, but that’s just because we haven’t gotten the nearly impossible to remove electrostatically charged stickers from Snow Crash yet. Soon as we get those puppies it’s game on!
Physical violence? Did I miss where the dude got dragged from his vehicle and beaten?
Go out in public proudly displaying political symbols, and you should expect people to answer back with a yell or a finger. A sticker about how your car sucks. Maybe even a blast of coal-rolling exhaust. Words invite words; symbols invite symbols - no one’s throwing hands, so I’d say this is just about how I’d like culture war to work.
The musk nazi stuff is recent, dude could have easily bought the cybertruck before musk started going full nazi with the mask off. We don’t know anything except what the article says.
Edit: Man yall are sensitive. Unless I say Musk bad anytime it comes up, yall get the pitchforks out. Chill out, this isn’t an article about Elon musk even.
Musk being a massive POS goes back years, but specifically entered the public consciousness when he called that dude trying to save the trapped kids in the mine a pedophile.
Either this guy knew Musk said that and didn’t care, knew Musk said it and forgave him when he didn’t know better, or didn’t even bother paying attention to something that was national news at the time.
And whichever it was, it doesn’t speak highly of him.
Divided? That douche-whistle had so much money, he spent it on a golden turd. Not only did he divide himself, the dude put up walls to separate himself from the poors.
USA is all about class wars. No one else on the planet gives a flying fuck what you drive. But in US? It’s somehow the most hanious thing you can do.
Its a fucking car. Get over yourself. Musk isn’t hand building them. It’s easy to “boycott” something you can’t afford. I’m sure everyone here avoids amazon and nestle, right?
Buying new car is stupid regardless, but if my model 3 breaks down tomorrow, I’ll go buy another model 3. But it won’t, because it’s literally the best EV on the market. I test drove BYD literaly today, it is the 2nd best EV I’ve driven (and I’ve driven A LOT of EVs) but it’s generations behind what Tesla offers. This isn’t some subjective opinion, tesla is the best in range, efficiency, road noise, safety, software and “self driving” (while not ready, might never be, they’re still the best at it). They’re also likely the cheapest option.
You’re meant to skip that for what? Internet keyboard warrior fame?
It’s even easier to cry like a baby about not being able to afford to drive a different car, when just the golden wrap on your luxury vehicle cost more than an entire normal car.
Nobody fucks with standard teslas lol. Even our wannabe pharaoh here is barely getting fucked with compared to the baseline Worcester experience
We shall see. Comments online surely show how unhinged people are. Or how about the highly upvoted post of standard Tesla being rattle canned with a huge swastika on it? 90% of the comments saw no issue with it.
And let’s not pretend it’s just tesla thing, look at Nvidia cards, people are rooting for People’s cards burning down because they couldn’t get one.
There are more examples, HPA in airsoft is another hobby I follow, people want it banned off sites.
Zero about understanding, no, people are just cunts.
I couldn’t care less about this golden twat, but look at any other post about tesla here? People are advocating torching them. When called out will pretend it’s only when they self set on fire!
I’m getting really tired of it. It’s just hate hate hate. Me vs them. I hope you see my point.
I agree hate is a terrible thing. Tbh though it’s ridiculous to try and direct your empathy towards the richest most unaffected people getting flamed for engaging in their luxury hobbies while vulnerable minorities are increasingly being targeted by actual violence.
Maybe luxury car owners, high end computer enthusiasts, and adults larping as soldiers with their expensive little toy guns should wake the fuck up to the situation that is developing around them if they care so much about peace and love. Hope you see my point
Nah, fuck that. People deserve to have fun and not be miserable all the time being there’s a war/famine/genocide going on. What exactly you’re doing on the internet while people are suffering? How dare you entertain yourself? And you hit nail in the head, it’s just whataboutism and jealousy. "If X is miserable, so should you be! "
Back at the boycotting something you can’t afford/want is the easiest shit to do.
Typical rambling argument against random shit nobody said.
You are the one using your limited time to jump to the defense of society’s lowest, most pathetic losers. Look up this guy’s business, he’s a fucking scam artist. Worcester would be significantly better off if they drove him out of town over his dumbass car.
You, yes you personally, should direct that energy into defending trans people and immigrants whose lives are actually threatened by violence instead of wasting it on wealthy people who are merely made “uncomfortable” by people telling them to fuck off lmao. You know, since you are the one who claims to be so bothered by hate and everything.
Or just continue to hallucinate and argue with yourself about the deep philosophical trimmings of whether or not anybody at all should be allowed to experience any form of pleasure if even one among us anywhere in the world is suffering. That’ll come in handy in the future I’m sure, especially if you keep bringing it up when nobody asked

Seems like a good sticker!

Heh. Deep cuts w/ Vonnegut should’ve been a podcast.

You would “prefer” a “culture war” of slap fights and clever rejoinders? How bougie can you get without admitting it? 🙃

Where the fuck have you been?
Nazis Fuck Off. Their toadies, too. Off with ya.
The Cybertruck was released on November 30, 2023. Two weeks before, he endorse an antisemitic tweet.

You know when he apologized for it? November 30th.

I don’t have a Twitter, and I don’t follow Elon Musk religiously. I wish he’d go away, but, well, we both know that’s not happening.
Unless you were the one who bought the Cybertruck, this isn’t about you and I don’t know why you think it is.
No, he absolutely could not have. Musk was full mask-off Nazi before the Cybertruck was released.
In 2023… no he wasn’t.
Yes, he fucking was! Either you’re an apologist or you weren’t paying attention.
Definitely a he said, she said moment right here. I’m not gonna engage with that.
No it fucking isn’t. It’s a matter of historical fact, and you are just flat-out wrong.
Also, thank you @[email protected] for bringing the receipts.
No problem. It’s amazing how people never bother to check this stuff.

Then maybe quit supporting the hateful. If you can’t take it, don’t help dish it out.
