tesla is not elon
But they pay him tens on millions as a bonus for being an idiot
Edit: yeah it’s billions. The amount of money they waste on this cocksucker is incomprehensible.
Billions. They paid him the same amount of money (as a bonus!) as Bill Gates had in total when he was the worlds richest person in 2007.
…tens of
millionsbillions…FTFY
Tens of millions is drastically understating tens of billions.
The difference is literally tens of billions.
Calling him a “cocksucker” is frankly insulting to people who perform the act of sucking cock. Musk is way too selfish to perform the generous and loving act that is fellatio.
after paying him tens of millions, they did it again a thousand more times because thousands of tens of millions is billions. tens of thousands of millions of dollars. It’s an insane amount of money.
They missed a trick by using paint, when a spray of salt water would have done the job at one more subtly and more permanently
Subtle wasn’t the intent here. But I do like your thought process here.
while at the same time by-design cloaking it as pure bad quality could actually cause way more longterm damage than a little bit of paint.
on the other hand the paint could also be just a marketing strategy depending on what they smoked to get new ideas
Spraywatering with salt
This is dumb. Sure Elon Musk is a dickhead. And sure Cybertruck is a dumb vehicle that only dickheads would want to have.
But I’d rather the dickheads be driving a Cybertruck than some other massive vehicle that runs on fossil fuels.
All car companies are run by evil dickheads. Most of them just make less noise than Elon.
I bet a lot have worse opinions too, they literally conspired with oil companies to avoid fixing climate change and certain companies like vw actively put in measures to cheat emissions tests.
If you think spacex and starlink are making the environment a better place, I think you might be in for a surprise.
@Peppycito @VirtualOdour OK, so you either haven’t heard about how Starlink Could Pose New Threat to the Ozone Layer https://www.sciencealert.com/satellites-like-starlink-could-pose-new-threat-to-our-healing-ozone-layer or you believe that Unicorns are real. Which is it? Nothing the Mellon Husk does is making the “environment a better place”
You misinterpreted my comment
big fucking cap
All private cars, regardless of the fuel source, are climate disasters.

@SpaceCowboy @return2ozma ~60% of Tesla’s profits come from the sale of carbon credits, which enable other massive vehicles that run on fossil fuels to be built. E-cars are not about “saving the planet” they are pure Greenwash which is saving the motor industry.
That’s more of a problem with how carbon credits are being regulated. Sure Tesla are being assholes for doing this, but it’s a corporation, I don’t expect them to be good guys.
But none of that changes the fact that some meathead buying a Cybertruck instead of the equivalent fossil fuel monstrosity is reducing CO2 emissions in a direct way. Spray paint the sign a Tesla corporate HQ, don’t damage a vehicle which will only have the result of someone driving a fossil fuel vehicle a little longer while the damage is being fixed.
If somehow murder became not illegal, it wouldn’t make all the corpses not murderer’s problem.
Literally the state of California would have lower CO2 emissions today if Tesla didn’t exist.
You’re assuming unscrupulous companies wouldn’t find another loophole or just pay a fine for going over the limit.
Don’t get me wrong, Tesla is shit for helping with the loophole, but it’s a degrees of bad kind of thing. Getting fossil fuel vehicles off the road does reduce carbon emissions, but Tesla was exaggerating their numbers. They should be punished for doing this, but doubling up their numbers only works if the number isn’t zero.
But this is all getting away from the fact that damaging these vehicles has the net effect of people driving fossil fuel vehicles longer. It’s a net harm to everyone.
Unscrupulous companies in this case referring to every car manufacturer, they wouldn’t have a systemic incentive to foster an EV monopoly that is anti-consumer and actively stymies the growth of the local EV sector.
No way, that is positively enormous.
Even carbon credit companies that do their best aren’t always (are often?) not great. e.g. trees may be planted, but:
- locals’ may have been misappropriated for the purpose
- you might go back five years later and find all the trees were cut down
It seems like there is some progress with that technology that… throws gravel onto beaches or something, to be broken down by waves. Really hope it’s not total BS.
Tesla is synonymous with climate destruction and if you believe otherwise demonstrates that you have grossly bought into their propaganda.
I agree wholeheartedly
Thats actually a better name for them than cybertruck. The Fuckelon
F.Elon.
Ironically making them more corrosion resistant, by doing so…
Vandalised? More like improved.
Without justifying this really dumb act, because there’s no justifying it, […]
How about we just don’t vandalize private property. That’s a good standpoint to build on.Wow, how unbased can an article get?
Why bother trying to make something uglier that is already maximum ugly?
@return2ozma Older Tesla’s one can give the owner the benefit of the doubt that they purchased it before Elon showed his true colours. No Cybertruck owner has that defence.
They are lucky it’s just paint.
I’m sure paint comes off ‘stainless’ steel real easy…
Elon sucks, but vandalizing someone else’s property because of him isn’t cool.
Elon Musk haters have vandalized dozens of Tesla Cybertrucks being held ahead of delivery at a parking lot in Florida.
Literally the first sentence of the article. The owner isn’t going to take this loss. Tesla will.
Those owners are only going to have them for about 4 hours after delivery when the truck will die for a multitude of reasons anyway!
No shit the owner isn’t taking a loss, the owner now has to wait even longer because some clown wanted to make a statement that Elon sucks. Want to hurt Elon, talk shit about him, he doesn’t give a shit about vandalizing shit.
Causing financial harm to corporations that are harming society is a valid form of protest that had been used as a tactic for over a century.
Yeah ok, what are we protesting?
your momma’s emissions.
Fitting name.
Vandalizing cybertrucks before delivery is cool. Laws are not the arbitor of coolness.
It’s really not, they’ve all been pre ordered so far. Someone has been waiting on delivery of the ones that have been vandalized.
My heart goes to all the poor souls waiting for their Cybertrucks. They are the real heroes.
I don’t know. Vandalizing luxury cars finds me morally indifferent. I’m not going to argue for vandalizing them but I simply can’t get myself to care enough for the poor souls whose “cybetrucks” need a new paint job.
the stainless (but not rustless) paint job?
I don’t care either, but still, it’s arcargitz to fuck with someones shit. If you’re trying to make a statement, damaging property isn’t the way.
Edit: Fixed a phrase that offended someone.
Don’t care. Also, please don’t use “low class” as a slur.
@InternetUser2012 @theacharnian and it’s not ‘someone’s’ it is a corporations, one with $44B to gift someone.
All the current cyber trucks have been pre ordered for a long time.
@InternetUser2012 still isn’t yours till it’s delivered
Yup, but you now have to wait longer because some asshat spray painted your truck. Again, I probably hate Elon more than you, I was going to buy a Model 3 until he showed his true colors.
Oh, no! Not the rich dickheads!
Anybody who buys one of those vehicles is someone who sucks also. Fuck em all.
I’m not going to judge a human by the vehicle he drives. BUT, if I was to, it does seem the BMW drivers traded in their cars and bought Tesla’s.
“There’s no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism so fuck everyone.”
There’s a difference between buying something because you need it, and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult - and let’s be honest, no one buys a cybertruck because it’s a good vehicle for any purpose.
and buying something to signal you are part of a fascist cult
There is difference between rich not knowing where to spend the money while signaling that you are rich who doesn’t know where to spend the money and signaling being part of fascist cult.
I’m not sure why people seem to think that sentence says “purchases are beyond reproach,” but it doesn’t. Two things can be unethical with one being much more obviously worse.
Leave other people’s personal property alone, even if they suck.
no personal property was involved.
The problem is having a clown as a CEO for a brand that keeps making people hate him in a very PR visible way. Other car brands don’t get graffiti’d.
Vandalizing the environment isn’t either.
Yet here you are posting on the internet using all those vandalizing products right?
True. Although the value likely went up, so maybe not actual vandalization…
They’re worth a lot at the moment, but very soon the value will tank and all these founders editions are going to be worth at least 30k less.
A substantial number are turning into paperweights within hours of delivery so their value has already tanked
They haven’t though, try and buy one.
Tesla sales are down & stocks are piling up: https://sherwood.news/business/elon-musk-tesla-extra-inventory-satellite-imagery/
Cybertruck issues piling up: https://www.fastcompany.com/91109879/a-timeline-of-tesla-cybertruck-problems-from-rust-to-hail-damage-to-pedal-recalls
And you can find endless videos on all SM about how they bricked within hours of delivery
Doesn’t matter, if you want a cyber truck right now, you’re going to pay more than sticker for a used one.
Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
The truck is not really washable. They will absolutely fuck it up cleaning that out. It can’t even resist rain.
You’re suppose to use gasoline or kerosene to clean stainless steel cars. At least the Deloreans came with instructions on how to do it. Not sure if Tesla saw fit to mention that.
“Yes Mr. Crowler we hear what you’re saying, but unfortunately spray paint voids your warranty.”
Don’t worry, for others they say turning it on voids warranty
Oh did you turn yours on?? Because that’s definitely a paddlin’!
“It makes no sense to vandalize Tesla’s property because you dislike Elon”
Bahhahaahha. Bet.
It also makes no sense that Elon isn’t in prison but here we are.
For what?
Stock Market manipulation
He is in line. Very long line. Veeeeery looooong. Longer than longcat.
If that actually bothered you then Elon is lost in a huge list, it’s painfully obvious you’re reaching at straws to justify your emotions rather than forming emotions based on an honest appraise of reality
Oh for sure, lock them all up for their crimes.
Are you suggesting they shouldn’t be held accountable for ruining lives?
how many?
DOZENS!
Sure, that’s how many cybertrucks were vandalized, but how many were spray painted on?
All 12 Cybertrucks that were purchased.
Scores and scores
F_Elon is probably is future username
That’s an idea 🤔
Made them more valuable.
