$100K Scam Angers Tesla Owners: Yet Another Cybertruck Totaled in Minor Crash

The poor, poor souls who fall victim to the advance fee fraud (AFF) known as Tesla regularly show up in social media very angry they didn’t realize the scam sooner.

Advance fee fraud is when [Elon Musk] targets victims to make advance or upfront payments for goods, services and/or financial gains that do not materialize

As an expert in decoding “African” email scams, often known as 419 email, I can say that Tesla ranks as the worst of them all by racking up unprecedented economic damage. Insurance companies signal this truth by immediately valuing a Tesla at less than half its asking price – totaling vehicles at the mere sight of a scratch.

One brave soul recently shared their complete fraud victim story, detailing how they fell into the trap of artificial demand buzz generated by Musk’s marketing machine. They paid $50,000 over asking price after years of waiting, only to receive a vehicle that fails to achieve even baseline capabilities – the definition of advance fee fraud.

Side-swiped by a scooter? Look at that damage.

Not only did Musk defraud buyers on basic vehicle capabilities, he clearly overstated everything like a typical advance fee scam. A tiny little scooter bumps into a new Tesla and the whole thing is “totaled”! $100K gets evaporated in an instant by anyone believing they paid Elon Musk a premium for something he personally engineered to handle their basic road conditions, let alone the apocalypse.

The Cybertruck exemplifies the fraud perfectly – for years the Tesla CEO generated buzz using the end-times fear tactics rooted in his family’s white nationalist empire of apartheid South Africa.

“[Elon’s mother and family] came to South Africa from Canada because they sympathised with the Afrikaner government. They used to support Hitler and all that sort of stuff.”

Like his ideological predecessors, racist “support Hitler” teachings from his grandfather and mother, Musk’s unfounded beliefs and empty promises can be expected to collapse when confronted with simple reality.

It is impossible to avoid seeing how this heavily promoted ‘go anywhere tackle anything’ campaign invoking his white supremacist visions of domination produced instead an overpriced dumpster that instantly succumbs to scooters and rain drops. In this we see history repeating itself. From Hitler’s swastikas to Musk’s swasticars, the cascading failures of Nazi fraud remain unchanged.

75 percent of the German Army relied on horses for transport. Horses played a role in every German campaign, from the blitzkrieg in Poland in 1939 and the invasion of Russia to France in 1944. …the notion of the mechanized might of the German Wehrmacht was largely a glamorized myth born in the fertile brains of newspapermen.

No wonder Musk bought a social media platform to spread glamorized myths of deep swastika thought, as depicted in 2023 by the famous artist Ai Wei Wei.

And just like Hitler refused to admit, which Musk clearly refuses to admit too, all the horse power in the world doesn’t mean much when they die instantly from… weather.

The Cybertruck demonstrates what happens when fraud meets reality, and I mean the most basic things like a bump, scrape or atmosphere. Nazis either steal viable ideas from others, disposing of the inventors quickly to hide the evidence, or they target and seduce non-expert believers into unsustainable fantasy death-traps while deflecting all blame.

The Nazis in public used to not say the obvious Heil Hitler out loud, or give their obvious Hitler salute, because that would be far too obvious. Instead they stick a “88” everywhere to represent the 8th alphabet letters H-eil and H-itler. So clever, who could ever detect these genius Nazis hiding in plain sight?

Elon Musk made Tesla market their cars as $88K, with 88kWh power, 88 computer functions, recommended to drive at 88 km/hr to charging stations with 88 ports. NOT a joke. All those are the actual statements promoted by Tesla, just like tweets exposing himself as a Nazi.

Fast forward to Cybertrucks dying everywhere and guess who is emboldened by such failure…

Anyone surviving the massive Tesla fraud rooted in pathetic anti-science Nazism can say after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars (that they’ll never get back because Elon Musk apparently lives above the law) they’re at least still alive to warn others before more fall victim to one man’s elaborate swasticar scams.

Elon Musk Allegedly Fürious People Keep Calling Tesla Vehicles “Swasticars”

Update Feb 21: just one month after the explanation was posted below, and almost two years after I explained Musk’s Nazi X fetish, this very large UK advertising campaign has started rolling.


What would Walt Disney do after seeing Elon Musk trying to normalize Nazism year after year?

We need not speculate, given this masterpiece from 1943.

Disney’s guidance on the proper response to Musk’s overt Nazism

That studio poster says the picture came from a rather pointed “song sensation”, as relevant today as it was then:

When Elon Musk says, ‘Wie ist der AfD in a race’,

We HEIL! (phhht!) HEIL! (phhht!) Right in Elon Musk’s face!

Not’seeing love for AfD is a great disgrace, so

We HEIL! (phhht!) HEIL! (phhht!) Right in Elon Musk’s face!

Disney pictures were such comedy gold that “Donald in Nutziland” won them an Oscar.

The deep and long-standing Nazi affinity of Tesla’s CEO has hardly been subtle – from the Nazis rallying around him, to Tesla’s extensively documented racist work environment, to the Nazi merchandise, to Twitter’s swastika rebranding that I pointed out way back in 2023 on day one, to an unmistakable pattern of Heil Hitler salutes (e.g. repeatedly using number “88” in Tesla docs and discussion).

Elon Musk made Tesla market their cars as $88K, with 88kw power, 88 voice functions, recommended for 88 km/hr average speed to charging stations with 88 ports. NOT a joke. All those are actual statements by Tesla, just like the above 26 November 2022 Heil Hitler tweet.
The kind of guy inspired by Elon Musk’s constant use of Nazi symbols

That it took this public Nazi salute on a 2025 federal political rally stage for some to finally notice? A bit late, folks.

The comedians were right all along.

If only we had a Walt Disney here today being ordered to rouse public consciousness against fascism.

As Musk’s shadow lengthens, invoking his grandfather’s failed white supremacist global domination dreams, perhaps humor remains our most potent resistance to the millions of Swasticars being amassed into Nazi madness.

[Elon’s mother and family] came to South Africa from Canada because they sympathised with the Afrikaner government. They used to support Hitler and all that sort of stuff.

Musk’s clowning achievement: celebrating his latest acquisition while heralding an era of South African oligarchy serving Russian interests.

Meanwhile, Canada and Greenland are being marked for emergency Lebensraum. Will they be carved up in backroom deals and invaded by powers brandishing AI data center expansion plans, their fate echoing 1938 Poland?

Related: While I obviously never studied comedy, history is forever the key to accurately seeing and forecasting Nazism. I did earn a graduate degree in that from the London School of Economics (LSE), and was honored to be their 2024 commencement speaker based on my decades of security leadership in tech. And on that note Elon Musk just made a surprise appearance at a German AfD ultra extremist hate rally – a group so extreme their leaders have been jailed for Nazism and French fascists walked away to distance themselves – that he wants to erase history to enable the Nazi return to power.

German Concentration Camp Director Tells Elon Musk to Put His Hand Down and Shut Up

Tesla Factory near Berlin in Grünheide, Germany

The message couldn’t be clearer from Dr. Jens-Christian Wagner, director of Buchenwald Memorial, Germany’s largest former concentration camp site.

Take a history book, retreat for three days, read it, and please be silent.

His directive comes in response to Elon Musk’s Nazi salute at a Donald Trump campaign event, a gesture that has sparked international outrage.

Wagner, the historian who oversees the site where Nazi forces murdered 56,000 people, told The Times that Musk represents “a dangerous combination of unstable and far-right extremist.”

As the director of one of Europe’s most significant Holocaust memorials, and expert in Nazi history, Wagner’s warning carries particular weight.

The timing is notable. Buchenwald Memorial, which operated as a concentration camp from 1937 until its liberation by U.S. troops in April 1945, now faces weekly visitor assaults on its dignity.

Wagner reports an escalating pattern of disruptions: Elon Musk-like Nazi salutes, “Sieg Heil” chants, and deliberate interference with guided tours.

[Notorious UK political extremist] Davies “went on tour to Germany to Buchenwald to give the Nazi salute in the execution chamber that was a flagrant and provocative breach of German law”. […] “To a terrorist hiding in plain sight, which is what Mr Davies is, bans mean nothing.”

That incident was 2016, not long after several others, if you see what I mean about Buchenwald staff being experts in identifying provocative gestures by Elon Musk.

Police are investigating a football fan who allegedly made the Hitler salute at the former Buchenwald concentration camp…. The incident follows a previous case in mid-July when several men were arrested after giving the Hitler salute at the former concentration camp.

A year before his Nazi salute, Musk stood accused of antisemitism as he staged an Auschwitz photo op with his toddler. The partner of the Holocaust survivor present with him saw right through it. She reported “He was utterly detached… about his press junket” and called him a sociopath using the death camp PR to hide intentions.

Most recently, staff discovered Elon Musk’s controversial “X” brand (formerly called Twitter) carved into a seminar room table. In context of Tesla’s campaign to cut down 500,000 trees around Berlin, vandals at the camp have destroyed 50 of the memorial’s 250 commemorative trees.

Wagner’s rebuke of Musk highlights a growing crisis: when apartheid-raised South African billionaires normalize Nazi gestures in America, it emboldens extremists to target the very spaces dedicated to ensuring we never forget the Holocaust’s horrors.

Update: Elon Musk made a surprise visit to stoke Nazism at a German extremist political rally where he told them to forget the past. Speaking from his personal experience, as the grandson of an extremist arrested in Canada for being a national security threat during WWII (grandfather who fled to amass a fortune of blood money extracted by a white supremacist South Africa), Musk regularly signals to his followers that they should attempt the worst mistakes in history again.

A Century Apart: New Presidential Order Brings Back Infrastructure of Hate

When President Wilson screened “Birth of a Nation” (based on the book Clansman) at the White House in 1915, he didn’t just show a film – he sent a signal that legitimized racial violence under the banner of “free speech.”

President Wilson campaigned as “America First” in 1915 and then spread propaganda about “crusaders” costumed in white robes with X logos, including “hooked” versions associated more with Nazis as their “luck” swastika. State sanctioned racist violence became so normalized by 1921 wealthy white businessmen flew planes to napalm American Black property owners.

The film’s extremely controversial nationwide release, protected and promoted by racists as free expression, helped fuel the resurging Ku Klux Klan and contributed to the tensions that erupted in the Red Summer of 1919, when white supremacist mobs violently attacked Black communities to destroy over 30 cities across America. Deaths still are underestimated to this day as the hidden mass graves of President Wilson’s “America First” campaign haven’t yet been properly recorded and exposed, let alone exhumed.

The film’s defenders falsely claimed they were protecting artistic freedom and historical expression. The bogus “freedom” argument provided cover for hate speech meant to incite and help coordinate campaigns of intimidation and violence.

The subsequent racial violence that exploded in 1919, after Wilson had pushed anti-liberal extremism for years, meant groundwork had been laid in normalized discrimination cloaked in the language of liberty.

Trump’s 2025 “ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP” executive order similarly falsely wraps itself in First Amendment language meant to rush the dismantling of content moderation systems. The rollback of AI safeguards announced by Twitter and Facebook – social media companies’ retreat from content oversight – means we’re seeing a similar pattern: official policies that enable and legitimize coordinated harassment under the guise of protecting freedom.

Just as Wilson’s actions went beyond a simple domestic terrorism film screening to signal broader social permission for low-level widespread violence, today’s changes represent more than mere policy shifts. They create an infrastructure where targeted harassment and discrimination can flourish while claiming constitutional protection.

The echoes of President Wilson’s reign of terror by 1915 “America First” adherents remind us that when government actions delegitimize safeguards against organized hate, the consequences can be far-reaching and extremely violent.

One hundred years ago, America suffered through one of the biggest outbreaks of racial violence against African Americans in its history, and few people know about it.

Few people know about it because there was no freedom allowed to talk about the violence, only freedom given for the hate speech to create it. America literally erased public mentions of the early 1900s racist riots, fire bombings and shootings.

Here’s a perfect example of the hypocrisy and propaganda tactics. At the same time this executive order claims to end ALL federal censorship… an opposite executive order was given to censor all federal speech (communications were ordered completely shutdown in the agency that warns about public safety risks). That’s the tightly controlled speech model of dictatorships for you, similar to how Goebbels centralized all radio for Hitler and labeled the heavy censorship as freedom for Nazis.

Mass graves from America First violence in 1921 still hidden and unstudied in 2024 should say it all. There was more than enough freedom granted for white supremacist hate speech, and none granted to talk about stopping it, because it suited the white men in power to keep things heavily lopsided that way.

President Wilson’s restart of the KKK adopted the 1800s racist nativist slogan “America First” and soon after began wearing white robes as depicted in the racist film “Birth of a Nation”.

Today Trump speaks in identical terms as a President Wilson about going back, rebirth of white nationalist power by removing safeguards meant to prevent racist violence. And somehow people don’t notice the obvious repeat. He claims ignorance of the century-old violent white nationalist hate campaigns he promotes, to normalize incitement as protected speech.

Trump often promoted Wilson’s hateful “America First” platform as his own

Ask yourself this: what is the role of technology then (planes with napalm) versus now (AI with crypto)?
