Not absolutely, because a company being able to deactivate your purchased property for ulterior reasons is more dystopian.

I also suspect the rapper wasn't exactly praising the cybertruck, so that would add "for ~~insulting~~ misrepresenting? a company". That's even more dystopian.

You don't have to suspect anything, watch the video. He's hyping the Cybertruck, hyping, "I'm RICH BEEYOTCH!" This is Tesla trying to distance themselves from that message.
