One time KOC got really mad on Twitter at someone for criticizing Musk and replied something like “how dare you criticize someone who is trying to save the world!!!”
This was a while a decent amount of Musk brain degeneration ago but still.
That was always my feeling. I like a lot of the old Grantland/Ringer writers, but I can't recall once reading one of his pieces and coming away feeling I had learned something interesting or valuable
“You dont like the cybertruck, Leon”
“What do you mean i dont like the cybertruck?”
“I mean you dont like it. Why dont you like it, Leon. Why dont you like it?”
"Excuse me, would anybody care for a hamburger sandwich?"
(I spent half an hour trying to track down a screenshot of the Patrick Dempsey movie "In the Mood" just so I could make a hamburger sandwich reference too. I regret nothing.)
Went on a road trip with my sister in July and saw one going the other direction on the highway. It was my first sighting and I was disappointed I couldn’t properly laugh at it. She had no idea what it was. Never heard of it!
Oh wow. We're all just too online I guess. I assumed that all the regular civilians were out there making fun of them too. But I guess to many people it's still an exotic thing they're barely aware of if at all.
I made it to July as well, but the sighting was when I was walking in my town and talking on the phone. I shouted an expletive into the phone. I was hoping to make it longer.
I had to check my records. Mine was May! The weird thing is that I saw it while riding in a Tesla. (My wife's friend's car; we were going to a show, which is how I was able to check the date.)
"Then the old people clapped, and the whole block broke out in song how awesome the Cybertruck was, and then my Dad came back from getting some smokes and milk and told he was proud of me..."
I have such a hard time believing any old couple cares about cybertrucks. They like Chrysler and other car manufacturers that were bought out decades ago
If a Bostonian has a huge smile on their face and tells you "ya, you've got the coolist fuckin cah I've eva seen", when they ask "Who made it?", they're moments away from following up that sentence with "a fuckin kid on a shawt bus?"
Cut to Edward James Olmos folding an origami cybertruck. It takes him three folds. He looks bored, and displeased with the result. He crumples it up and lights it on fire with a cigarette - it becomes nothing, like tears I'm the rain.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a Cybertruck, it’s rolling toward you. You reach down, you flip the Cybertruck over on its back.
It is strange when your cybertruck is surrounded by people when you come out of the grocery store. They are harmless but its time consuming. Most are children and retired people.

Bostonians would totally have fucked with him and pretended to think his cybertruck was cool.
…they were just being mockingly sarcastic .
"You know what a turd wrapped in tinfoil looks like?"
"Yeah..."
"Same thing."
