A California tossing a Nazi salute out of the passenger seat of a Cybertruck in San Francisco was easy enough to track down.
Thats because the company he works for, Cyber Electric, had its name and phone number printed on the side of the EV.
In the April 23 video, the man in the passenger seat, who appears to be intoxicated, raises his arm out the truck window, which belongs to a Modesto company called Cyber Electric. A homophobic slur can also be heard from someone apparently in the vehicle. After a brief confrontation with the person recording them, the driver speeds off. Since it was posted on social media Wednesday, several people have flooded Cyber Electrics Yelp page with one-star reviews and scathing comments regarding the interaction. Screenshots of the video along with a photo of Elon Musk making a Nazi salute at Trumps inauguration in Washington, D.C. have also been uploaded to Cyber Electrics business page. ...
According to California secretary of state documents, Marco Diaz the man accused of making the salute and yelling the slur is listed as the companys agent.

After all, the increased MAGA business should more than make up for it.
Right? Right?

(4,162 posts)...and Trump are the true enemies to democracy in the US. To the extent that this deflects the spotlight from Musk and Trump (the felon and insurrectionist), it is not worth caring about beyond the fact that this guy apologized.
In four years, Musk's companies (e.g., Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, etc.) and any of their subsidiaries should have no remaining US government contracts, no remaining US government subsidies, no further permission to launch from Starbase or any other launch facility, and no permission to run full self-driving software on any public or toll roadways within the Continental US, Hawaii, or on any territory of the US: zero all of that out completely -- just as Musk has done to government employees across the entire federal government.

You know that old saying, "Instant asshole, just add alcohol.

(52,951 posts)He is obviously insincere and his apology is BS. HE SOUNDS LIKE A ROBOT which is how Musk sounds too. An apology that is obviously made in the Tesla factory and now it's included in all the new Tesla trucks as a special feature at no additional cost.

(15,194 posts)It couldn't have been more insincere, it was pretty obvious he was reading from a script, there was no emotion whatsoever.

(52,951 posts)If it looks like a robot and sounds like a robot it is a robot. Anyone with a double digit IQ can see this insincere ass's "apology" is BS.

all I did was say that, AFAIC, he's a liar, nothing more, nothing less.

(4,162 posts)...actually is (and you may be quite right that his is a purely economic-consequences apology or a blatant lie told to mitigate the self-inflicted damage he caused himself) is only a distraction in the larger picture which is best kept focused on Musk (Tesla) and Trump.
