    Ok, maybe a direct quote from another source will suffice? “If you’re ever in an argument with another car, you will win,” Musk told his fans at the delivery event in its Texas factory in Austin. “Here at Tesla we have the finest in apocalypse technology.” *https://fortune.com/2023/12/01/cybertruck-elon-musk-tesla-delivery-event-prices-specs/ https://fortune.com/2023/12/01/cybertruck-elon-musk-tesla-de...

  You are taking it out of context. Following that he said Eff the police 420 blaze it and took a bite out of a baby.
