What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,

'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'

Elon is the new Henry Ford. But I'm afraid we have no modern day Roosevelts to smack him down.

    Henry Ford actually had some good ideas himself. Elon steals all his ideas.

    Nah, I'm sure Cybertruck was the example of him messing around in a 3d modeling software and then saying to Tesla engineers "make a car out of this". There's no other excuse for the lack of thought in its outer design.

    I mean design aside, there is no reason to make it this shit, even if it looks bad. It's just a rug pull but with cars. There is no way in hell you see one of these driving around in 10 years, except some rare cases of garage queens. The car had a pre-order system for fucks sake. The selling point of the car is that: "in an apocalypse, you can just drive over other cars." Which says a lot about the clientele of that thing.
