Social Leon Deactivates Rapper's Tesla Over Copyright Claims

[Pittie Petey]

I have no idea how valid all these claims are but some rapper named Big Huey is saying that his Cybertruck was remotely deactivated because it was featured in his latest music video and Leon wasnt happy about that

He was driving along when his truck just shut down unexpectedly and a message flashed on his screen saying it was remotely deactivated and then when he got home he received a cease and desist later about the vehicle being featured in his music video

Regardless of what you think about the music, or the people making it, its pretty scary but not surprising that a person's car can now be deactivated while theyre in the middle of the freeway by someone in a corporate office that just pushes a button

Sure its just one Cybertruck today but it wont be too long til every vehicle manufactured has these overseer restrictions placed on them, all at the whim of some eccentric billionaire lunatics

This is quite a future we're speeding towards


The story was just posted yesterday on IG and no "legit" news sites have reported so theres no better links to provide than these

That's what this rapper gets for not reading the contract before he bought the vehicle. I am sure it is in the fine print.

that sounds like a lot of huey

They shut it off while he was driving? That sounds insanely dangerous

No. These contracts should not be legal. No company should have a kill switch for property you paid for. They can sue him for copyright infringement if that’s in fact what he did do. Systems already exist to handle this.

Pretty sure that story is fake. Just doesn't make sense, even for Elon.

My mans needs to make a new song about Elon titled cybercuck.

I was watching aliens the other day and realized the cyber truck looks like the tank in the movie lol.

Seems like a monumentally stupid move that would only make the popularity of your ugly ass vehicles worse than it already is, if true.
That said, I support both the idea of fewer cyber trucks on the road, and of punishing people who buy them.

 

[Revolver]

Lmao @ anyone buying this ugly piece of shit truck.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

He should get it crushed down to a cyberbox and send it back to them wrapped in a bow. Not sure how rich of a rapper he is though.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

cool story

I can see the cease and desist order being legit, but not shutting his car down in the middle of traffic. I don't think Tesla wants another lawsuit on their hands.

I'm torn. It's anti-consumer and a dangerous precedent. It's very dystopian.

But, also, how stupid do you have to be to buy one of those things. They should come already deactivated direct from the factory.

As the title says way to go Leon , I hope he yelled Leon Jenkins when he did it

Lol, yup. Though, (and tbf, I'm not bothering to read anything beyond the OP, but) I'll be surprised if this is a true story.

I feel like he was doing this guy a favor. Cybertrucks are an abortion of vehicle design.

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

dude probably talked enormous amounts of shit before going with the whining to everyone like a baby route

 

[nonoob]

Sounds like homie was lucky that's all that happened.

Leon coulda auto-piloted to the po po station, flashed the horn and lights to alert officers while CRANKIN' this wide open...bet that truck was fragrant with the endo herb blend.
