> Yes, I think that’s the point. There is some quirk in Elmo’s sense of aesthetics that makes him perceive the Cybertruck as cool-looking, whereas it’s the ugliest, most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen on wheels.

Okay, I know I’m an outlier, but as a child of the 80s, there is a certain charm to the Cybertruck in my eyes. Admittedly, it is part of the sharp sides, high-tech, super Angulllllaaaaaar build that was briefly popular, along with the whole cyber part of the cyberpunk thing that Musk is trying to evoke.

I mean, I look at it and the 12-14 year old part of my mind that never left the 80s thinks “It’s cool.” The rest of me, that gets form v function, practicalities, and the like, go “not in a million years if it was my money” but it still feels like a vehicle designed to appeal to geeky white males of a certain age.

Which fits in perfectly with Musk of course.
