For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Mate, these thoughts are in your head. My partner has bouts of anxiety where she assumes people are always thinking the worst of her, so I'm hesitant to make fun of the dude because I've seen what it can do to someone, but he's clearly bought a dumbass car to get attention and now he's feeling insecure about it. It's sad.
I'm leaning towards the poster being a troll.
That is way too self aware to be a cybertruck owner.
It's both in this case though. People are pretty outspoken in how ridiculous that thing is, and he knows it too.
He knows it and he did it intentionally, but the people laughing at him are his imagination. He's projected these thoughts onto them because he feels self-conscious, nobody said a word to him. It's just as likely the woman was laughing because she's on the phone, or the man was smirking at something on a podcast he's got playing.
Edit: Will you people stop telling me you laugh at Cybertrucks. I don't care, that's not the point.
I've pointed and laughed at every Cybertuck I've seen for the reasons the guy referenced in the post thinks. I'm full-on laughing at the people who plopped down $100k for those 4-year-old's-drawing-of-a-fucking-Halo-Warthog pieces of shit. Bullying serves a social function and these dumbasses are in need of it.
As a counter-point, I've seen Cybertrucks out in the wild on at least 3 occasions now and each time I thought to myself, "Look at this fucking idiot."
One time someone else was in the car with me when we passed a Cybertruck and he did point and laugh at it.
I have actively pointed and laughed at multiple cyber trucks driving around San Diego this week. I have witnessed other people are doing the same. There’s an absurd number of them here, 3 parked on my street alone. One is wrapped in fucking fake gold leaf for fucks sake. How do you not openly laugh at these idiots
“I want to draw attention to myself”
“Wait not like that”
Pretty sure I've seen the fake gold one in IB. I got a good look at one yesterday. They aren't even trucks. There's no bed. They are hatchbacks!
I'm calling them cyberbacks from now on
That's fair that it's mainly in the head of the person in the story.
That being said my partner and I actively point, laugh, and make fun of any cyberturds we see on the road very obviously. I'm sure we aren't the only ones.
But this is really what people are thinking, not just in his head. I've chuckled to myself when I see these things, and they definitely are noticed by everyone so someone straight laughing upon seeing one is not out of the ordinary.
I will actively point and laugh.
I have more respect for someone walking around in an actual clown costume, than I do someone driving around that clown car.
Why would you not respect someone in a clown suit?
Yeah what’s this dude got against clowns ….
