In a video [posted by *HipHopDX*]() on the site formerly known as Twitter — which is, along with Tesla, owned by Elon Musk — rapper Wiz Khalifa, whose legal name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, sounded off on one of the futuristic-looking vehicles. "Just seen a Tesla truck in traffic," Khalifa says while looking at the camera. "It’s a no from me." The "Black and Yellow" rapper went on to weight in on the car's provocative appearance — which, to be fair, [we at *Futurism*]() have [been doing]() for [years at this point](). "Shit trash, b!" the Pittsburgh star remarked. "Nah, man. It look old. The shit look like it came with pre-dirt on it." https://twitter.com/HipHopDX/status/1761050503180603691 ## Boost Mobile While some celeb Cybertruck boosters, such as reality mogul [Kim Kardashian]() and Reddit co-founder-turned-Serena-Williams-spouse [Alexis Ohanian](), weren't exactly surprising, others like art-pop superstar [Lady Gaga]() and Brooklyn-born director [Spike Lee]() were somewhat more eyebrow-raising. When it comes to [Kardashian's dirty Cybertruck]() in particular, Khalifa's observation about the propensity for the car's unpainted stainless steel panels to get grimy seems astute. "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," the rapper said. "For real man." Even as celebrity Cybertruck spottings continue to grow, so too has the trickle of bad news about the electric pickup. Earlier this month, in fact, several Cybertruck owners [started to complain]() that theirs had begun rusting after only a few days of rainy driving. "Just picked up my Cybertruck today," one Cybertruck Owners Club [forum member wrote](). "The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out." So much for the truck of the future being futuristically good at warding off wear and tear! **More on Cybertruck:** [*YouTuber Hellbent On Destruction Drives Cybertruck Directly Into Water*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
