it’s because of elon’s very public desire to destroy democracy, his flouting of our laws, his ruining of twitter, his hatred for certain people and love of pushing lies and paranoia, and other such nonsense. blame elon. he’s made driving a tesla go from “wow, awesome” to “omg, you support that azzhole?” in a few short years. it’s a shame.
I realized she was laughing derisively. She was like, “What kind of person would drive something like that?” Or, “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.”
Granted, she could have been having a weird reaction to a stroke or something, but I’m pretty sure I saw what I saw. Then today, I was at a four-way stop, and a guy in a Nissan Titan/Toyota Tundra or something smiled and then chuckled like: “What a tool.” Or, who would drive something like that?”
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.
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.
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.
This is hilarious!
