The moment he smashed the Cybertruck window should have been the point at which his grift fell over.

He'd spent all that time talking up the Cybertruck, saying that it was damn near indestructable, that it was bulletproof. And to prove it he threw a huge ball bearing at the window.

And it smashed.

That should have been the point at which everyone said "Nah, this guy's a kook" and walked away. But nope. They all rode along on the meme and here we are.

    Honestly, it’s extremely funny, because of how shocked he was that a giant steel ball damaged the “bullet proof glass”.

    Bullet proof glass doesn’t just… shrug off bullets, it cracks and breaks without shattering and the bullets embed in it rather than passing through. The glass on the demonstration could very well have been “bullet proof glass”. The fact that he thought that meant “will shrug off getting hit with a shot put” showed how surface level his understanding of things are.

    Like he pretends to understand the businesses he owns, like he’s some how involved in the design and conceptualization of products. But’s he’s just a business idiot claiming credit for the work his employees do, and making everything worse when he does get involved.
