    I do, if the guy bought his shitup truck before it was widely known that Musk was a nazi ballroot. If they bought it in the last year or two, then I don’t really mind that much. I wouldn’t vandalise someone’s property myself, but I won’t be losing much sleep over it.

    The Cybertruck in particular is very much a Musk Mobile, it’s linked quite closely to his public persona and buying one is you telling the world that you admire and want to emulate Musk in some way, or at least be a part of the Musk Fan Club. It would be like if Hitler signed off on a fancy Führer Ford Focus, then cunts started buying it and showing it off. No shits to give for vandalisation in that case.

      I could excuse some Tesla owners under this logic, but by the time the Cyber Truck was available, everyone knew who he was.

        But this is specifically about flaming it as a Nazi vehicle. Cybertrucks were on the street before he started interfering with elections and heil’ing in conferences. Unless I missed the part where the post said they got they Swastikar in the last 3 months, this is attacking someone with too much money who may or may not have spent it on a joke they could drive.

          We knew he was a nazi when he took over twitter. And that was years before the cybertruck.

            Maybe there was Musk media I chose not to ingest but, around the Twitter acquistion, we knew he was an alt-right manchild with a paper-thin ego, a backwards conception of “free-speech”, and too much money. Certainly, a piddling, pervert wannabe sniffing around the locker-room of authoritarianism.

            Maybe practicing for major-league fascism, but he wasn’t swinging for the team.

      I think the moment CT became available it was very clear who Phony Stark is. Maybe he didn’t do the Nazi salute at the time, but everything else was still valid.
