Enough Musk Spam

Tesla’s Cybertruck, once touted as “the World’s Toughest Truck,” now seems to be gathering rust in inventories across major U.S. metropolitan areas.

A recent count reveals that within 25 miles of some of the top 25 most populous zip codes, a staggering 1,246 Cybertrucks remain in unsold inventory. The total count nationwide of Cybertrucks waiting on a buyer is likely much higher, as these 25 mile segments only account for about half of the US population.

If each Cybertruck sells at the minimum price of $79,990, that’s about $100 million worth of what Ask Car Guys voted overwhelmingly for the Worst Truck Ever Made.

Here’s the data!

“Elon is not cut out for politics,” Errol Musk

This timeline can be an farcical. Our country is run by two children whose own fathers see as failures.

Elmo loves to say the quiet part loud, let's see what today brings... Hope for quiet.

It was the canary in the political coal mine—a flashpoint event when Adolf Hitler played upon public and political fears to consolidate power, setting the stage for the rise of Nazi Germany. Since then, it’s become a powerful political metaphor. Whenever citizens and politicians feel threatened by executive overreach, the “Reichstag Fire” is referenced as a cautionary tale.

This was used as the excuse to fully start what became the Holocaust.

Hitler blamed his perceived enemies for the fire (that he likely had started himself). All of this after he was insufficiently punished for an insurrection/coup attempt called the Beer Hall Putsch.

Let's hope this stays a historical reference with current US admin seig heiling on stage and looking for any excuse to invoke martial law.

Tesla showrooms across the country look set to face a wave of protest stunts following the launch of a new campaign against the electric vehicle firm’s owner, Elon Musk.

Musk, who also owns Twitter/X, is a leading figure in Donald Trump’s US administration and is overseeing severe cuts to federal jobs, grants and public services under the co-ordination of his so-called ‘Department for Government Efficiency’ (DOGE).

However, sales of Teslas are reportedly on the decline across Europe in what some experts suggest is an apparent protest over Musk and his politics – as exemplified by frequent outbursts on his platform promoting figures such as the imprisoned British far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) and other far-right groups like Britain First and Patriotic Alternative.

Musk was accused of whipping up racist anger in the run up to the anti-migrant riots in England last summer, and has repeatedly called for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to be deposed.

Now a new activist group, the People Vs Elon campaign, hopes to start a trend, after one of their members walked into Tesla’s Tottenham (London) dealership, with a cardboard cutout of Musk performing the Nazi salute, which he performed twice during Trump’s inauguration.

Staff demanded she remove the offensive cut-out – and threatened to sue if the video went online.

The footage has since gone viral with over two million views on TikTok alone. And now the woman behind it wants others to follow in her footsteps.
