I’ll at least give people with Teslas the benefit of doubt, but if I see you with a Cybertruck I’m going to judge you.
I’ve started seeing the Juniper model Ys in my town. There are people who bought the Cybertruck before he was a nazi, but everyone who owns a Juniper Y was well aware he was a nazi when they bought the car.
It’s unfortunate. It’s actually a seemingly very cool car.
They might have made a refundable deposit on the truck, it was still refundable and Musk had shown the world he’s a moron years before that.
I don’t give Tesla owners any slack. If it took you this long to figure out and see what a shit bag Elon is then shame on you.
He’s been in my book as a shit bag since at least 2018. What have you all been doing the last 7-8 years? Buying Tesla’s? Shame.
Let’s not mince words. Enough of the soft language.
If you bought a cybertruck, or any Tesla after Musk went full mask off, you are a Nazi collaborator. That is not hyperbole. That is not exaggeration. You are literally a Nazi collaborator. And you have the exact same moral culpability as an Nazi collaborator during the reign of the historical German Nazi Party. You voluntarily signed up to give tens of thousands of dollars to an overt white supremacist hellbent on the extermination of entire social groups. You gave tens of thousands of dollars to a Nazi. You are a Nazi collaborator.
Totally agree. Their ignorance is not a defence at this point.
Thank you so much, I’m sick of people defending this shit, they can fuck right off. Dude has been a full blown Nazi for a hot minute too
It reminds me of centrist Dem politicians. The same group that ran a campaign openly saying that Trump would institute a fascist coup now insist on pretending everything is normal. The greatest weapon of a latter-day fascist is the normalcy bias. Trump won the election because many people assumed those calling Trump a fascist were just exercising ordinary political hyperbole. Now we have an Apartheid billionaire reorganizing the government and a Secretary of Defense that has giant white power tattoo on his chest. The president is openly performing shakedown operations against legal firms and media outlets. And the regime is rounding people up without due process and shipping them off to an overseas gulag. The administration is doing this citing a law that was last used to inter Japanese Americans during WW2.
Hell, my passport was retroactively declared fraudulent because I happen to be a member of one of the groups that the fascists have defined as their internal enemies. My nation’s government has decided that I do not deserve the right to leave the country. When it comes time to renew my passport, I’ll be given a document completely useless for actual travel abroad.
And yet, we’re supposed to play nice and pretend that this isn’t fascism. It meets every definition of the word, but people are so blinded by normalcy bias that they can’t see what’s right in front of their face. They won’t admit it’s fascism until they’re force to tour a literal death camp and walk past piles of charred corpses. And even then, they would have questions of whether this really was fascism.
Yup I agree. Centrists and neoliberalism is a cancer of this country, literally enables fascism.
Y’all are cheapening the meaning of Nazi. Call him a moron or something else.
The Trump/Musk government meets all the textbook definitions of fascism. They’re literally sending people, without due process, to overseas gulags. They’re revoking the passports of groups who were also historically targeted by the Nazis. They’re flagrantly violating court orders. They’re using the exact same fear and intimidation tactics employes by the Nazis. The Nazis took over because people like you had a normalcy bias and assumed that the skinheads would never take over the place.
If you want to argue that they’re technically just fascist, and not Nazis, fair enough. But if you need to make that distinction, I think the point is already lost.
If you use Google, in any way, even by using an Android phone, you agree with the genocide of palestinians. That is not hyperbole. That is not exaggeration.
🤦
Fascism took over the US, because people like you thought fascists could never take over the US.
Sure. A country based on racism, but it’s because of me that it turned out to be racist, even though I’m not a citizen of the USA and I knew it was a fucked up country based on its various issues like killing civilians, spying on everyone for “anti-terrorism” and “fight against CSAM”
Maybe it’s actually because there are many people like this, with many being still in power with no consequences because free speech apparently means freedom of spreading hate and misinformation
Maybe it’s because your country only lets people chose between 2 candidates and has a deeply flawed electoral system that promotes voting for whoever was elected by your favorite side (~left / right) without really thinking. It really is an all or nothing election.
But yea it’s definitely me and people that are like me.
Continue calling everyone a nazi and racist for no reason. You’re really helping the cause and convincing people.
Just yesterday, on a return trip from weekend camping, my wife and I saw like 4 Cybersucks. Also on that same trip, we saw a either a Model 3 or S with a bumper sticker that read “Tesla? Yes. Elon? No.” Imagine tanking your company’s image so hard that owners have to put fucking disclaimers on their cars. Ford Edsel and Delorean owners had more pride in their purchase.
Not all owners are putting disclaimers - I’m in Vegas this week and the first thing I saw when I left my hotel this morning was a cybertruck with an iron cross on the side. So some of them are into that swastikar lifestyle!
I can see no way one could know about the cybertruck to buy it without also knowing how stupid Elon is. Even when they announced it, my first thought was “I like the look, but it’s a Tesla so fuck that noise.”
And yes, I do like how it looks. It’s different, and I like the low-poly shape. If it wasn’t also a huge piece of shit, made by a racist asshole I’d probably want one. Though I also thought it was half the size until I saw one in person.
It kinda looks neat in photos but in person it looks dog shit and the doofuses driving them look even more idiotic than the average lifted truck driving types somehow
Dude, I was one of the first pre-orders for the cybertruck, but I canceled my order when I got the email that production started, and it was time to complete my pre-order.
We striking the line at the Nazi salute or the “pedo” comment about the cave rescuer?
I think the pedo comment should have woke people up in regards to the idiocy but the brand was still viewed relatively well at the time. The far-right philosophy and tantrums after the Twitter buy was when I think the line was visibly crossed for people with any morals. The nazi salute didn’t cross that line any farther but dismantling needed/important government services starts hitting where unempathetic people can feel it, their wallets. Trump can advertise Teslas on the white house lawn as much as he wants, so long as Musk is affecting people’s wallets the support he’ll get is minimal.
The pedo comment wasn’t really a blip for me - and I assume most people. I remember seeing a headline at the time about him calling someone in Thailand a “pedo guy” because the guy called Musk out for turning some trapped kids into an attempt publicity stunt.
At the time, I probably thought “huh, that was a dumb thing to say” but then didn’t spend more than 20 seconds thinking about it. I vaguely remember seeing some lawsuits about it later, but couldn’t tell you one way or the other about how they went.
It really wasn’t until Musk started doing crazy shit that affected me that I started paying attention to him - and I assume it’s the same for most people. If some rich asshole slanders someone and gets sued for it, that’s pretty easy to tune out. But when he purchases a major social media company and gives a quarter billion dollars to sway an election, does a couple Nazi salutes, and then starts dismantling the federal government, that’s much more attention grabbing.
He didnt just slander someone, he actively tried to sabotage the Thai rescue diver mission where they were rescuing literal trapped kids in a cave. Its beyond fucked
And yet you STILL own it.
Well to be fair, the argument is similar to telling folks about to suffer from client change to sell their property and move. How are they gonna get rid of it? They’re probably upside down on it too. Maybe you get lucky and sell it to a wealthy conservative?
I remember seeing too that because of fear of scalpers, Tesla made a lot of Cybertruck buyers sign an agreement saying they wouldn’t sell the car for X number of years.
And how are they going to enforce that?
Legally speaking, how can Tesla stop you from selling your car?
