A Tesla Cybertruck owner in Solana Beach, California, has drawn sharp criticism online after a Reddit user posted a photo of the vehicle on the /pics subreddit. Shared by user boobs_I_say, the image captured a striking scene: a Cybertruck displaying an American flag alongside a flag depicting Donald Trump raising his fist following the 2024 assassination attempt. Adding to the spectacle was the personalized license plate reading “RAWDADY,” which quickly amused hundreds of Redditors and sparked a wave of mockery aimed at the driver.
OP offers no additional context beyond urging viewers to “check the plate,” which is already a striking detail—even without the flags. Meanwhile, the viral image of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist has remained firmly in the public spotlight, with CNN reporting that some MAGA supporters have questioned the incident. Still, that was not the focus of this post’s comment section, where hundreds of users instead mocked the Tesla owner.
Reddit Users Harshly Criticized the Tesla Owner, Hurling Insults and Accusations
“The irony in this picture is truly epic,” one commenter remarked. “So incredibly disrespectful to the flag,” another added. “Definitely not a cult…” a third wrote sarcastically. A fourth joked that the driver must have attended an “Alpha Male Bootcamp.”
Jokes, accusations, and insults aside, several commenters believed the photo was taken in Huntington Beach—a theory that makes some sense. Huntington Beach is often viewed as a MAGA stronghold in California, a state widely known for its Democratic leanings. Unfortunately for Huntington, however, the city’s MAGA influence has yet to extend across the rest of the state.
It was unclear whether the Cybertruck owner’s vehicle had any connection to support for Trump. The original poster did not say whether he interacted with the driver; he only shared a photo of the vehicle. Although tensions between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Trump escalated last year, they appear to have eased since then, with Musk dining with the president in January.
That said, if the Tesla owner is using their truck as a contemporary symbol of support for the administration, the interpretation isn’t unfounded. The flags, however, make the driver’s political stance fairly obvious.
