Edit: What do you judge them for?

    Cybertruck drivers.

    ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn’t care (or still fanboi’d over him).

    • I saw a cybertruck the other day with a “Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy” bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c’mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn’t know until after you bought the cybertruck?

        A certain little mustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but once the war happened it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one’s face that way nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.

      In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.

      But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.

        He showed his personality when he accused a rescue worker of being a pedophile while trying to rescue children trapped in a cave.

        They told Musk to fuck off when he was insisting that his “submarine” can save the day.

        All the money in the world and no brains.

          Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking of from 2018.

          Musk: “I’ll build a submarine to save them, then everyone will love me even more!”
          Cave Rescue Expert: “That’s not an especially practical solution given the situational needs of this resuce operation.”
          Musk: “… er… well… pedo!”
