Man makes Nazi salute from Cybertruck in SF, internet floods his Yelp page
A man passing through San Francisco in a company-branded Tesla Cybertruck was seen repeatedly raising his arm in a Nazi salute at a group of people in Mission Bay, footage circulating on social media shows. 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 Electric’s 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 Trump’s inauguration in Washington, D.C. — have also been uploaded to Cyber Electric’s 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 company’s agent.
“I deeply regret my actions in the video. I was intoxicated and reacted foolishly to provocation, but I take full responsibility,” he wrote to SFGATE in an emailed statement, explaining that he has regularly faced hostility by “getting flipped off” or receiving a “thumbs-down” while driving his Cybertruck. He denied making homophobic insults and stated that the people recording him were yelling at him, prompting him to react.
Regardless, he said, “the gesture does not reflect my beliefs, and I’m sorry for the hurt it caused.”
