Tesla’s Cybertruck Is a Vehicle for the Adult Baby Class War

Before Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's new Cybertruck (CYBERTRUKK?) concept on Thursday night, he promised the world in a tweet that it would look like a military armored personnel carrier. At the time, I thought this was weird, because frankly I can't imagine wanting to drive a vehicle like the ones carting troops and weapons around various war zones to the grocery store.
But when Musk finally revealed the vehicle, which looks like an 80s concept car crossed with some stock sci-fi design tropes, I got it. With every sledgehammer hit, gunshot demo, and finally an embarrassing incident where the Cybertruck's supposedly unbreakable windows uhhh broke, the reason for this truck's existence became clear: it's a vehicle for the class war. But not any class war, the stupid class war. The class war where one side is composed of adult babies who nonetheless can afford at least the promise of military-grade hardware that reminds them of stuff they liked when they were teenagers.
