A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

    Ok, you have to be trolling at this point. But in case you somehow are not:

      Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.

      To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.

      In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.

      Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?

      Or is the guy being downvoted because he’s being an ass, not because he’s wrong?

      “You have to be trolling” is rather in the same category as “do your own research”.

      You’re just not able to verbalise what you meant, because the original person didn’t mean anything and was using buzzwords to appear smart.

        You can not even keep the person you are replying to straight. You got called out for a bad take and now like some sort of american are having a tantrum until someone tells you how smart and right you where/are.

        Best of luck!
