Cybertruck Owners Say They Are 'Worried About Hate Crimes' And Suggest Saluting 'Each Other Like Elon To Show Support'

"We really should salute each other like Elon threw out his heart to the crowd. Deep down inside we all think like Elon which is why we purchase his products to support his and his quest to help humanity."

"Thankfully, at least one Cybertruck owner on the forum saw sense and explained that if everyone started 'emulating this heart to the crowd, things will get real ugly real quick.'"

made it as ugly as possible to sell to the rubes so that he could have contempt for them and feel superior as in: "See how influential and powerful and superior I am that people will buy my fecal matter...".

It was just like the Nazi salute -- him showing he could do whatever he want and poke anyone he wanted and still be the richest, most powerful, most brilliant, most influential person in the world. He also, imo, wanted to upstage Trump and put the focus of the inauguration back on Elon himself where, in his view as a "Master of the Universe", it belonged.

One fanboy on a cybertruck forum says they should all salute like Musk. Another fanboy tells them that no, they should not do that.

One Jalopnik "article" and two DU OPs later, here we are.
