The fan has practically made the EV maker's Cybertruck his entire personality — despite getting [absolutely screwed]() by the company several times now. He's already received two subsequent Cybertrucks that turned out to be absolute lemons. Now, he says the videos he's been uploading to Musk's echo chamber X-formerly-Twitter are getting suspiciously overlooked, suggesting his presence is being secretly downgraded behind the scenes. "I post all my videos to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and they get decent amount of views," Lamar MK tweeted. "I post those same videos to X and they barely get 100 views, it’s like zero reach." "Either nothing is wrong, or I’m just shadow-banned to have no reach on here," he wrote in a [follow-up](). "Elon Musk. Please fix this." Lamar MK has a [long track record]() of bouncing between gushing about his Tesla and [complaining]() that the EV maker is refusing to help him when his truck breaks down. The trucks Lamar MK has received so far have suffered from a [charging cable that refused to disengage](), sagging headliner trim, a barrage of red blinking error messages, and [getting locked out](). Tesla has done the bare minimum in response, often leaving him stranded for [weeks on end](). But even after being treated like dirt, Lamar MK has been adamant in his Tesla fandom. Most recently, the fan [claimed]() that the "Cybertruck represents the most significant innovation and technological advancement the world has seen since the introduction of the iPhone." Needless to say, it's a harebrained assertion given all the failures he's experienced personally, nevermind the truck's growing reputation as a failure. In a matter of less than a year, the truck has already been [recalled four times](). Now that it's dawned on him that Musk's social media platform likely doesn't give a damn about the content he's been posting, though, he's finally starting to ask some questions. "Given this situation, I'm questioning the value of my premium subscription, as it doesn't seem to enhance the exposure of my posts," he wrote in a [Sunday tweet](), referring to the platform's $ 8-a-month subscription service. "My content performs well on other platforms, so the issue isn't the quality or appeal of my videos." When somebody [suggested]() that X-formerly-Twitter may be throttling accounts that paint Tesla in a bad light — or at least acknowledge the many issues plaguing the brand's vehicles — Lamar MK yet again bent over backward. "I personally avoid calling people names out of respect, but at the same time, I'm actively promoting the Tesla and the Cybertruck, which honestly leaves me feeling a bit confused," he [tweeted](). "I guess they don’t like me, lol. Maybe I’m just too honest!" Meanwhile, users on Reddit cringed at Lamar MK's naivete. "This is getting embarrassing. He needs to move on," one user [wrote](), referring to Musk. "He’s not returning your texts dude, you’re nothing to him." "Jesus, this is one clingy guy," another user [wrote](). "Just move on, dude." **More on Lamar MK:** *[Tesla Megafan Receives Two Subsequent Cybertrucks That Completely Fail]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
