"Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?" [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don't want a car at all. I'd rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I'd never buy a Tesla. I'd buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

Apartheid manchild jumps on stage at a Trump rally

All I see every time I see that photo are the old cheesy Toyota ads.

Toyota Hilux are absolute beasts.

There is this video where some TV presenters try to kill one and they leave it submerged in the sea for several hours. Pull it out, clear out the carburettor and it fires back into life.

I remember these ads growing up! Aussie ads are... Different sometimes.

At least the toyota guy is lifting his legs and putting some effort into that jump.

For some reason it reminds me of Stuart the Look What I Can Do kid from MADtv. It’s the expression on his face and his half assed effort to jump in the air with like feigned enthusiasm.

OMG now I can’t unsee that.

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.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
