I bought a Cybertruck for my business. After receiving threats, I paid over $400 to teach my staff self-defense.
Briefly

Vanessa Voss, a 42-year-old business owner from Tacoma, Washington, purchased a Cybertruck last year for branding purposes. However, this decision led to severe harassment, including threats online and via phone, after a wave of political controversy surrounding the vehicle. Voss's insurance agency helps clients navigate Medicare transition and offers local services. Despite her intent being solely promotional, the backlash has escalated to threats against her safety, prompting her to invest in self-defense and take precautions for her and her employees.
The threats targeting my business followed our recent purchase of a Cybertruck, which was meant to enhance our branding. No one anticipated the backlash.
Deciding to buy a Cybertruck was purely a business decision; we wanted to amplify our branding, not become symbols of controversy or division.
