        Buying a CyberTruck is the equivalent of digging up John DeLorean, filling his corpse with bags of cocaine, strapping him to the front of a DeLorean that’s been modified to shoot sparks into the gas tank when a moisture sensor is triggered, and then drive said cocaine death-trap into schools and other public services.

        This might be a slight exaggeration, but it’s pretty much literally exactly that.

          While your point might seem fair, you simply cannot buy that car as ‘simply a car as any other’ if you have at least half an eyeball

            Sure, but having bad taste doesn’t make one a Nazi either.

              I feel like funding a Nazi is just as bad.

              I feel the same way with people who use Amazon. You can’t complain about what Bezos does with his money when you’re actively supplying him with it.

              You can’t complain about what muskrat does with his money if you’re buying his products.

              That makes you part of the problem.

                  Except I’m not the one funding the Nazi?

                  He was clearly a douchebag from the start. He didn’t even try to hide it. He didn’t even actually do anything but buy existing companies and pay smart people to make things with the wealth his parents accrued through basically slavery. He surrounded himself with enough yes men that he started to feel like a god which led to our current situation.

                  He was always a piece of shit. It’s not retroactive.

        Henry Ford has been dead for over half a century.
        Elon is showing up at Alternative für Deutschland events and doing nazi salutes.

          And also people did protest Ford’s love of Hitler especially given that we were dumping war contracts on his lap.

        Yup, and I have a '73 bug, but my buying it didn’t support fascism like buying a cyber truck does/did.
