    Look honestly this is pretty stupid.

    The cyber truck is a super expensive, conservative coded, pavement princess car. The people buying it are probably doing so instead of getting an F350 with one of those illegal mods that lets you pipe out black smoke. It’s overall a net positive for the environment.

    I feel like this is less about the Cybertruck and more about Elon. I get he’s hateable, but people just end up feeling lied to when you use BS logic to pretend that the (supposedly) best selling EV pickup in the US somehow needs to be targeted by climate activists. Just deface his private jet or some shit.

      Yep and the message it sends to 99% of the population that isn’t deep in Elon derangement syndrome is that green movements are just more leftwing circlejerking idiots that are completely unserious about the causes they profess to fight for.

      Yes I would love america to have better trains and better public transport but short of a magic wand that’s not going to happen this decade, if we want to improve things then we need to live in the world we’re in. Cybertruck is great for converting rich idiots who’d otherwise be ICE obsessives, they’ll all be getting solar roofs too so they can brag and preaching to their budies about being secure in disasters and price spikes. Though let’s be honest these protesters will likely have the opposite effect to their aims and increase Elons popularity amoung the right.

      It’s sad to me these people who profess to care so much about climate change or whatever always and only do aggressive, destructive and easy acts - they never put the work in to come up with creative, constructive and genuinely positive acts which help people or projects working to improve things.
