    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).

      ive seen many teslar drivers bought thier regular tesla cars/suvs after musk went full nazi, like 1-2 years after he bought xitter. they know better, but they are very super-ignorant demographic, apparently alot of them in my area when i look into whos drivers, its asians, im asian.(its like a hybrid of ignorant but still aware of the news of the current events and still purchasing said item/services because it previously had brand recognition thats all they cared about, at the same time low info on the politicla spectrum)

      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.

          and the hyperloop scam was even more unforgivable, basically robbed california of a high speed rail system, which was blocked by trumps 1st term elain chao. and now its just a half-assed attempt with no progression.

          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!”

      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 moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one’s face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.

          Because if the way I shave, I’m concerned that I’ll have a heart attack just before I finish and I’ll be buried looking like Hitler.

          TIL Trumps father wore a Hitler mustache until 1950.

          After World War II, toothbrush variants were worn by a small number of notable individuals, e.g. American real-estate developer Fred Trump (who wore a split variant), and former president of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe (covering only the philtrum).

          Trump wore a toothbrush mustache from c. 1935 to 1950, about when it fell out if fashion due yo associations with Adolf Hitler
