“Oh My F*cking God”: Elon Musk’s Bizarre Cybertruck Unveiling Goes Horribly Wrong

Elon Musk took to the stage on Thursday night to peddle his latest desperate cash grab pile of shit introduce the first Tesla truck model at yet another sycophant-sell-out unveiling “party”. In our wildest dreams, we couldn’t imagine a more ridiculous revealing of Tesla’s new “Cybertruck” than what took place. 

As the old saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

And here’s that picture: a truck with two shattered windows that looks like it rolled out of a dumpster heap at a metal scrapyard, being offered for the low low price of just $39,900. 

We know you have questions. What am I looking at? Why are the windows broken? We’ll get to it. 

The theme of the Cybertruck unveiling, after getting over the way the thing looked, was its durability. “We created an exoskeleton,” Musk says at one point, describing the truck’s exterior. It was something Musk literally “hammered home” starting at the beginning of his presentation. In fact, after revealing the truck, he had one of his assistants come on stage and hit the door with a sledge hammer. 

No dents! Incredible! Musk’s genius shines through again!

Musk then went on to talk about the fact that the truck was bulletproof and equipped with armored glass. The crowd chided for Musk to shoot the truck in order to prove it, after Musk joked about it, but instead Musk only showed photos the truck after what they claimed were tests shooting it. 

And it’s a good thing they didn’t try to shoot it on stage, because if it would have went anything like testing the armored glass, we could have wound up with somebody dead. 

In what can only be described as a massively embarrassing failure, Musk then had his assistant come on stage and try to break the truck’s armored glass.

“Normal glass shatters immediately,” Musk said as his assistants, dressed like characters from The Matrix, dropped a metal ball on conventional glass, causing it to shatter.

Another assistant then threw a metal ball about the size of a baseball at the driver’s side window… and it promptly broke.

“Oh my fucking God,” Musk nervously said, live on the stream, after the front window shattered into a million pieces.

Musk then, assuming it was just a one-off and an aberration, implored his assistant to try again and throw at the back window.

You know what happens next: that window also broke.

So Musk nervously joked his way through the rest of the skit, claiming maybe his assistant had thrown at the truck “too hard”. In other words, Musk’s presentation of the indestructable Cybertruck had been bested by a skinny Silicon Valley beta male throwing a small object at it.

Musk then moved on and talked about the suspension on the truck – with the smashed glass still present in the windows – where it remained for the rest of the demonstration.

Meanwhile, in almost real-time, one alert viewer pointed out that the truck’s back left wheel also appeared to be in the process of falling off. The FUD saboteurs must be at it again!

Musk then showed video (pre-recorded, of course) of the Cybertruck supposedly beating a Ford pickup in a “tug of war”. Musk claimed that the Cybertruck could go 0 to 60 in 2.9 seconds and do a quarter mile in 10.8 seconds. He showed the truck drag racing a Porsche, to make his point.

Not only do you win your drag races, you win in style!

Musk then said the truck would come in three ranges: 250 miles, 300 miles and 500 miles. He priced the truck in three models, at $39,000, $49,900 and $69,000. He then claimed the “actual cost of ownership” was much lower because you didn’t have to pay for gasoline – similar to the claims the company was making on its website that drew the ire of German regulators, who eventually forced Tesla to change how they were presenting the sales price of their vehicles. 

And of course there was a “one more thing moment” when Musk announced that the company had also made an ATV. But the live video stream cut out before we could hear more details about it. 

To no one’s surprise, after the video ended, viewers were immediately hit with an “Order Now” page. 

The responses from social media were mixed, to say the least:
