    Technically, yes.

    In my mind, whether or not this person deserves it depends on when they bought the truck. If they ordered it long before Elmo began showing us how insane he really was, then they’re just a bit of a douche. If they bought it since the salute, they deserve more than a sticker.

      by the time the cybertruck was announced he was very publicly insane already.

      also regardless of musk, this is a death trap that shouldn’t be (and in normal countries isn’t) allowed on the road at all. Just because the US law allows billionaires to kill children doesn’t mean we should as well. a sticker is getting off easy.

      no excuse for owning a cybertruck.

    People are getting caught up on semantics vs. ethics in this thread. Is it vandalism? Yes, textbook. Is it okay? Also yes, fuck these people for bankrolling his coup.

      So basically… Wrong:Yes, Justified: Also yes

        No it’s:

        Illegal: yes; wrong: no

        Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s wrong, for example feeding people experiencing homelessness in certain counties in the US.

          In the trolley problem, is it “wrong” to divert the train from many to one? Given the immediate effect that killing has had, I don’t think it is unreasonable think that taking that one life has (stochastically) saved at least a two digit number of other lives.

            If Musk is the one, I’d reverse the trolley and run him over again, just to make sure.

        Wrong: Technically yes, Morally no

      Well, you do have the consider the owner’s safety; when they peel it off, the whole damn thing might explode into a ball of fire. Still on the whole, this seems morally positive only providing a small dangers to non-tesla cars around it.

    No, it’s a fucking sticker. Grow up.

        That’s entering sticker-bombing territory, which might be terrorism, it’s got “bombing” in the name.

    Legality and morality are distinctly independent concepts.

        Morality is subjective. But it’s an interesting question. It sounds like the obvious answer should be yes, but who decides what is moral?

        Even if we go by what the majority thinks, does that automatically make it moral? There was a time when the moral thing was to burn witches at the stake. We’d call that immoral today.

        This feels like a can of worms.

    From what I remember, putting this on a painted surface is vandalism because it can ruin the paint topcoat. Putting it on glass is NOT vandalism because it can be removed without damage.

    I’m not sure about stainless steel, because I thought the whole point was that it could be cleaned, so I guess it depends on if they want to admit it’s a bad finishing material or not.

    Yeah, they are.

    Pathetic for owning a dumpster that pretends to be a truck.
