I feel like Musk's brand of quasi liberal inventor-investor Tony Stark Ironman shtick has already kind of worn thin around the time of CTs launch, revealing the freak he always was. Obviously the Tesla brand started getting heat for his closeness to Trump and Musk's own eugenicist etc. politics.
I do get some satisfaction knowing that the ability of a CT owner to get a reaction out of people is kind of falling off. It seems like primarily only other Musk stans think they're cool, but if you're driving one and randos sneer at you for it at least you can tell yourself you're tirggering the libs. When general audiences just have no reaction, now your status purchase is only worth its usefulness as a vehicle which is probably less than what you paid for it.
Yeah, I feel like the mask had dropped before the cybertruck did.
