An unknown bandit recorded themselves spray painting a cartoonish phallus on a Tesla Cybertruck, with a driver remaining inside the vehicle. The incident, shared on social media platforms like X and Reddit, has sparked discussions on the ethics of vandalism, particularly concerning Tesla and its owner, Elon Musk. Users debated how such acts could affect consumer perception and the company’s stock. Interestingly, a simultaneous event took place in the Hague, where a Tesla showroom faced vandalism with anti-Nazi slogans, highlighting contrasting reactions to Musk's controversial image.
"Be careful, pretty sure all [Teslas] have cameras looking out from the vehicle," a user warned potential copycats on the subreddit r/unusual_whales.
"There's an interesting debate to be had over whether vandalizing a Tesla is ethical or not," mused a user from r/EnoughMuskSpam.
"One thing we can probably agree on is that if people see more videos like this, they will be shy about buying a Tesla, hurting Tesla's stock and Elon's pocketbook," a Reddit user noted.
As the Cyberdick video went viral, a Tesla showroom in the Hague was also vandalized with anti-Nazi slogans, demonstrating the mixed reactions to the symbolism surrounding Musk.
