Austin, TX - Elon Musk, the billionaire buyer behind the purchase of a number of high profile companies and ideas, is saying that the Tesla Cybertruck was a joke.
"Well, one lesson I've learned is that just because I present something to a group of engineers and they laugh doesn't mean it's going to be all that hilarious as a fully realized product released to the public for sale after an extensive promotional campaign and several price increases," Musk explained. "Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don't know the context, which is that this is a terrible product and they gave me money for it."
Not everyone who has purchased a Cybertruck sees the humor in Musk's $80,000 prank. Some, like Tampa CryptoSpa owner Rex Chadington, believes that his life was changed for the better by purchasing a Cybertruck. "Elon is a genius and deserves every penny he gets for disrupting the truck market AND conventional comedy by selling these things. I feel closer to him driving my Cybertruck, like we are friends. Maybe even best friends?"
