Considering the Cybertruck is just a standard stainless steel alloy, I'd ask why they aren't just buying sheet from a metal yard to test, but I already know the answer.
They can't tell the difference between us laughing at them and us becoming enraged by them, they're just like mistreated dogs who have learned they can get attention by pissing on the floor and any kind of attention will do.
I genuinely think algo based social media ruined a people who use it as their primary way they interact with other people. Any attention, good or bad, means ENGAGEMENT. We've commodified the behavior that kids who can't disguise between good and bad behavior.
A lot of the most pernicious and insidious effects of the social media algorithm have a lot to do with unchecked capitalism just turning everyone's attention span into currency that can be infinitely divided and pulled apart.
