LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – In a bizarre display of loyalty, Tesla Cybertruck owners have taken to spray-painting their stainless-steel beasts to symbolize SpaceX rockets, claiming it’s their way of “fueling Elon’s dreams.”
The trend, dubbed #CyberRocket, has taken social media by storm, with enthusiasts adding faux thrusters, NASA-style decals, and even hand-painted flames for “maximum liftoff vibes.”
One owner, who calls himself “Elon’s Earth Ambassador,” said, “If my truck doesn’t look like it’s ready for Mars, what’s the point?”
Authorities have raised concerns over the stunt, especially after one Cybertruck, painted to resemble a Falcon 9, was spotted attempting to “launch” from a parking lot using a homemade ramp.
Meanwhile, Musk himself responded on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “Love the creativity! Just don’t actually try to reach orbit. Not yet.”
Experts say the trend is likely to last until someone mistakes their Cybertruck for an actual spacecraft and files for FAA clearance.
