Noah Michelson, upon spotting a Cybertruck in Brooklyn, noticed the owner's sticker claiming he bought it before Elon Musk's erratic behavior began. This sparked humor on social media as Michelson posted about it. Following this, an additional sticker highlighted that the Cybertruck was sold during Musk's controversial period, resulting in an uptick in relevance on social media. This incident illustrates the complicated relationship between Tesla's branding, Musk's actions, and the perception of the car owners amid Musk's polarizing reputation.
"It's always parked somewhere within a three-block radius of my apartment, and because I rarely see them in Brooklyn, I always notice... They're also just so alien-looking that it's hard not to stare."
"What do you do when you buy a Cybertruck but live in Brooklyn? A lot of groveling and a lot of praying."
"Tesla only started selling the Cybertruck after Elon Musk went crazy," a fact-check which led the photo to explode on social media.
Around the time of the car's public debut, Musk had more of a reputation as an eccentric entrepreneur than an American oligarch.
