Rapper Wiz Khalifa stands his ground against the Cybertruck's 'futuristic' design, insisting that anyone who said Elon Musk's Tesla car was not ugly was lying.

AceShowbiz - Wiz Khalifa reiterated his fierce critique of Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertrucks. The rapper, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, emphasized that his strong opposition to the car's aesthetics, saying he could afford it but chose not to buy one due the vehicle's "ugly" design.
Khalifa has made it abundantly clear that he finds the futuristic, angular design unappealing. He added anyone who said otherwise was lying.
In a previous candid remark early this year, he stated, "Just seen a Tesla truck in traffic. It's a no from me," and went on to call it "trash." His perspective is a breath of fresh air amid a sea of celebrity endorsements that often appear overly enthusiastic toward the tech giant's products.
The rapper elaborated on his discontent with the Cybertruck's look, pegging it as both outdated and poorly maintained. "Nah, man. It look old, look like it came with pre-dirt on it. I don't know if 'cuz needs to wash it, maybe 'cuz needs to wash his Tesla truck because he's not looking too good out in here in traffic. For real, man!"
While many celebs play the role of unpaid influencers, hyping every new product that Tesla rolls out, Khalifa's unapologetic stance adds an intriguing counterpoint to the dialogue. His comments suggest a growing segment of the audience that doesn't necessarily buy into the Cybertruck's avant-garde design just because it's a product of Musk's vision. Instead, they're willing to voice their disapproval, despite the surrounding hype.
As Tesla continues to roll out the Cybertruck amidst both praise and criticism, Wiz Khalifa's comments serve as a reminder that even the boldest innovations can face substantial pushback from the very public they aim to captivate.
Whether this backlash makes any dent in the Cybertruck's market success remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Wiz isn't backing down, and his call-out adds a new layer to the intricate tapestry of public opinion surrounding Elon Musk's brainchild.
