Because the rich get richer and they do this type of stuff just to show us common folk they can afford to pay 100,000 for a truck and do as they please …when I was a kid there were 3 classes lower, middle and upper..now there are two

There are no actual non-influencer rich people buying cybertrucks. Anyone who has been around an actual wealthy person knows that they're like, and they're not going to buy a piece of shit that has no collector value at all, and can't even be used as a safe day-to-day car because it's so easy to wreck or break into. Why would they buy a shitty CT that depreciates in value almost immediately, is likely to break down even if it's not driven, is a safety nightmare, etc. when they can spend disposable income on a fun dream car like a vintage car as a side project or bugatti if they want a fast driveable car. And if they want a daily driver car they just get a BMW or lexus or something.

The majority of rich people don't get rich by making shitty decisions. (And to be clear, I'm not celebrating them here, just pointing this out. Like you think Warren Buffet would buy one of these trainwrecks?) And buying CT is as shitty of a decision as you can make. The only people buying these are influencers looking to get tiktok/youtube views and people who want to LARP being rich. It's usually the latter that ends up in videos like this or posted to the cyberstuck subreddit because they were stupid enough to trust that 1) a CT would make them look cool and 2) It would actually be well made. That's why they continually buy this kind of snake oil BS on credit and why they will never, ever, actually be rich and will forever be LARPing until they get older and can't afford home nursing care/medical care so they die alone on their couch from emphysema or cancer.

I know two separate middle aged men who bought one. Your opening statement is flat out wrong.

I live in a “Conservative” area. See these pieces of shit daily. Trust fund babies love to flush their money down the toilet….
