A man drove his car into protesters outside a Tesla dealership in Palm Beach County, Florida, but did not injure any of those who had gathered to demonstrate against billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump over the weekend, according to law enforcement.

Imagine being so much of a simp for Elon fucking musk, that you drive your car into a crowd of people. This is for the loser who pays people play video games for him and kills poor people.

A peaceful group exercising their freedom of speech and assembly were met with an act of terror. Let's see how the freedumb lovers respond!

You politely break the dumbass's windows, the mob yanks him out of the car and press his face into the concrete until the police arrive to ~~save him~~ arrest him.

These jackasses think they're immune to consequences, and that libruls snowflakes are push overs. They've been right.

If we don't defend ourselves, nobody else will. Not the police, not the courts, not the politicians.

...I don't think it says what the driver was driving, and somehow that's driving me crazy. I thought to look it up because I figured it's gotta be a Tesla, but "a car" could mean any brand and another source suggests it's a fucking Nissan Pathfinder!

Reminds me that conservative fucks don't even drive EVs, it's really fucking funny to me that even this guy is driving a Japanese SUV instead of a Tesler.

Pathetic violence from the Republicans? Must be a day that ends in Y.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It wasn't his fault the car was in full self driving mode. Totally normal operation!

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He was in fact also protesting.

"Nobody was injured," said a spokesperson, "thank God they were driving a Cybertruck and not something with some actual power and ruggedness."

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 34 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Cybertrucks are actually more dangerous to pedestrians in a collision due to their high, blunt hood and sharp corners.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 week ago

Cybertrucks are also more dangerous to pedestrians on the sidewalk who can be hit with flying metal panels as they fly off the trucks at speed.

Yep, it's big part of why they've not been approved for sale in the UK and probably other European countries.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

it was able to slice a deer in half at certain speed.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I was just jabbing Elon. Any chance for a shot.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Were they driving a cybertruck?

I couldn't see it mentioned in the article.

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No idea; I was just poking the Beast.

Ah...Florida. Understood. Go on. How many crocks did he have in the trunk? Did he claim them as his children on his taxes? Was there one in the driver's seat eating a cigar? Well there's your problem right there! I've never seen any crock driving straight while smoking a cigar, much less eating one!

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Today you learned that the Florida man thing is a consequence of Florida being more transparent about arrests than other states. The same shit happens elsewhere, it's just not reported.

the panels are also so sharp when it collides with people it can just cut them into pieces.
