Buy overpriced ugly truck from an outward Nazi
Cover it in shiny gold wrap to draw even more attention and be obnoxious to anyone who doesn't want to be blinded on the road
Be surprised when people don't like you
????
Do obnoxious stuff for "librul tears".
Cry like a baby when people do obnoxious stuff back.
Make shame great again! ✊
We're all human
Dude, Tesla's CEO endorsed a racist, misogynistic, transphobic and pauperophobic rapist. He shows up at AfD and FdI rallies.
You're Syrian, once they've rounded up all the poor brown people they'll come for you. After all, a god-fearing, bible-thumping, red-white-and-blue bleeding American could be given your business.
And your taste in cars sucks, by the way.
We’re all human
Yeah, and a non-zero amount of humans are insufferable bastards bent on subverting, dismantling and exploiting society for their own gain.
This. Being human doesn’t excuse you being a piece of shit and a danger to others.
Non-zero is an extremely low estimate.
Right, it is the 1% who do it maliciously and another 20+% who do it out of ignorance or because they were brain washed by fascist propaganda
Even without the whole elon shitshow, it's still cunts like that who buy cars that endanger everyone around them.
Hard to find any sympathy for the guy. A cybertruck costs almost 3 times the amount of comparable electric trucks.
You pay that much extra because you want the hate.
"I bought this car because FUCK THE LIBS! But why are they harassing me?!"
Funny that the people with Teslas used to be libs.
There's stickers going around that day "I bought this Tesla before Elon went crazy".
I hate Elon as much as the next guy but there's no need to spread blatant misinformation.
Cybertruck MSRP: $80-100k
Ford F-150 Lightning MSRP: $50-90k
Chevy Silverado EV MSRP: $55-95k
and that is the majority of your options. Obviously cybertruck isn't near as capable as the other two and it's also an ugly piece of shit, but there's no need to make things up to diss the idiots buying them, they do it themselves.

When it was originally released the lightning started at 40k and that's what I was thinking of. Your point about the price today are fine, but there is no need to assume things.
It sounds like we all agree. Despite all the rightful cybertruck hate and despite the garish gold color, this driver was not even particularly persecuted. He was just living the life of a normal Bostonian (which always includes other drivers cursing at you, cause that's what we do here).
So... This is actually just a non-story. The headline could have been "Ridiculous gold cybertruck exists in Massachusetts, driver treated normally"
Or perhaps,
"Driver of ridiculous gold cyber truck somehow still isn't getting enough attention!"
I once had someone throw a beer bottle at me from their car as I was walking the dog. They yelled 'Dog Wanker!' Where's my news story?
He’s a doctor what kind of doctor lacks the foresight to buy a Cybertruck.
*seeing that his practice is called Sculpting MD
Oh never mind.
Ben Carson was a brain surgeon... need I say more?
Ah, but Ben Carson made a ton of money by grifting to the right. The billionaire class collectively throw billions at their propaganda machines
Well... yeah, but he was also a completely incompetent idiot yet was inexplicably a highly trained surgeon. Which was the point.
the Syrian immigrant
Weird that he's driving around a swasticar from a company run by a guy that would probably like to deport him...
That photo gave me a some serious Goldeneye 007 on the N64 vibes, its like he unlocked the cheat code to get the golden car to go with the golden gun.
Until now I didnt think it was possible to make that thing look more low-poly.
F-him, the gold color represents the MAGA diapers, ear diapers, shoes and watch.
Bis wife started screaming after seeing a "profane sticker"? Sounds like an "and then everybody clapped" story to me.
She was, crying, screaming out of her throat, even. The horrors.
If you don’t want to be treated like a nazi sympathizer, then don’t drive a nazi vehicle. Simple.
It's the little things that give me hope... Stuff like this. Get fucked, supporters of Elon Musk.
Yes, if you drive his car, you support him. Sell it, watch the value drop overall from you and others doing it, and you'll be back on the other side of the fence.
Yah, driving a car that symbolizes the guy helping destroy the nation isn't going to win you points. Sounds like he (Syrian immigrant) bought it a couple of years too early before Elon revealed his stripes.
Maybe he shouldn't wear that outside of the house.
Can't he just drive it to a "safe space"?
Bad things happening to bad people
