>> This guy right here, Elon Musk, uh-huh.
He unveiled Tesla's new all electric pickup truck.
He calls it the cyber truck, look at it.
I think, listen I am gonna be an odd man out, here.
I think it looks cool.
>> No.
>> I think it looks so cool.
>> Terrible.
>> It's stainless steel.
It's futuristic.
A lot of people say it looks like- >> Crap?
I agree, it looks terrible.
>> A Pontiac Aztec?
>> Remember that?
>> That was a horrible experiment from the now defunct General Motors brand, Pontiac.
Okay, and to continue, what?
>> So here's the thing-
>> I had a Pontiac, but- >> It was-
>> I kinda liked it.
>> So you like it, too?
>> You didn't have an Aztek, though, did you?
>> No, I didn't.
>> Okay.
>> It's supposed to also be bulletproof, because that's very important, I guess, for the rich
people.
>> I was like, yeah, why are people- >> So to prove that, he had his head of design
throw a metal ball at the window, right?
Watch what happened.
>> Sure?
>> Yeah.
>> My God.
Well, maybe that was a little too hard.
>> Yeah.
>> Man.
>> Oops.
>> But that's fine, cuz there's more windows.
And maybe that was just a fluke, right?
Let's watch another one.
>> Start?
>> Cut.
>> Keep strong.
>> It didn't go through.
>> So that's a plus side.
>> Let's try the right.
>> Try the other, really?
Okay, sure.
>> Man, it didn't go through.
>> All right- >> Not bad.
>> There's room for improvement.
>> So we've been talking about this, it's beyond bad.
>> Stop that.
>> But I will say this, okay first of all, Brooke, no.
That that car looks like an unfinished concept vehicle you will see at the car show in-
>> I love those.
>> It's terrible.
>> Secondly, the price, it starts at what, $39,000?
And it's supposed to be able go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds, so the car of the future.
>> Mm-hm.
>> I think, and go along with me here guys, hear me.
I feel like that could have been Elon's way of trying to have this go viral, because he's
known for his viral moments, right?
Elon Musk has been on Twitter over the years, and having ways to stay relevant via social
media, what better way to do that, than to have the truck of the future, future, future?
Had that happen when he's unveiling it, and then having that sheepish remark of, well,
it didn't go through.
I feel like Elon's trolling us on the grandest scale with this.
>> But I feel like it would have been viral with just the truck.
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> He seemed caught off guard.
>> I gotta be honest, I'm voting with Brooke here, on both counts.
>> No, no.
>> Because did you notice the awkward, it didn't go through?
>> But he's- >> And when he's like, hey, let's try it again,
the other guy's like, you sure?
>> Cuz right, I like my job.
>> Yeah.
>> No, Cenk, Brooke, I disagree.
I feel like Elon, he is a brilliant man.
And he gets the nuance of having everything he does planned.
He's very calculated.
That could have been a very calculated occurrence.
>> He's been wild, too.
Is he calculated that night on Twitter?
>> Yeah.
>> Elon, I'm trying to rep for you as hard as I can.
The truck is ugly, but I'm trying to feel, I'm going hard for you.
Send me one for free, please.
>> Yeah, no, don't get me wrong, Jason.
I felt the same exact thing.
In the beginning, I was like, well, everybody's talking about it non-stop.
You can't not talk about it, cuz it was so embarrassing.
So 50/50 chance- >> Yeah.
>> The only reason why I'm saying, now having seen the tape, that I don't think it was staged
as a PR stunt is his reaction.
Which was, he did not seem happy about that.
>> It didn't go through, but a bullet would.
>> Well, if you are planning on buying this truck, there is a self-driving option for
an additional $7,000.
Maybe that will not be able to park your truck at a Walmart.
I don't know, but it's not cute, Brooke.
>> I like it.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm sorry, no, I can't.
>> I like it.
Brett had a little fun.
People were just having so much fun with this online, on Twitter, so much fun.
One person said, Tesla truck be like, and then.
>> That's- >> It's Tomb Raider, it's fine.
>> Yeah, no I got it.
>> Yeah, I knew you got it.
Okay, thanks.
This is, uh-huh- >> Yeah.
>> Shares in Tesla fell 6.1% today.
>> Yeah, so maybe, if it was a PR stunt, it didn't go well.
>> It's time to start all over.
>> But guarantee, this'll be- >> And remember, Elon, his main thing is,
and especially with really, really rich folks, or just rich folks, they have so much money
that they care a lot more about their reputation than they care about an extra dollar.
>> Yeah.
>> In fact, Elon in this one said, actually, I don't know if a lot of people will buy this
pickup truck or not, but I don't care.
I guess if you're a billionaire, that's how people roll, right?
If you're a member, I care a lot.
TYT.com/join, we really need it.
>> What, I work here, can you imagine if you walked around here talking like that?
I would be like, wait, no, wait.
>> No, no, we care.
>> Can we rethink this?
>> No, no, we care.
Yeah, so at this point, him looking dumb is probably not a thing he's a big fan of.
So I don't know what kind of a boss he is, but whoever screwed that up might be in a
lot of trouble.
But look, the point of the truck is supposed to be able to pull as much as a Ford F-150.
>> I don't know what that means.
Okay, I'm not a car guy.
>> So my nephew's a car person, so they're like, 250, 350, 650.
I'm like, I don't know what you're saying, okay?
And it's supposed to go as fast as a Porsche, 0 to 60 in-
>> 2.9.
>> 2.9 seconds, is that true?
Probably, but on the other hand, we just saw that, so maybe not.
Here's what I know for sure, Jenny said- >> Yeah.
>> It does not give me a lot of confidence in paying the extra $7,000 for the self-driving
option.
>> 100%, I concur.
But here's the thing, someone should be fired for the windows.
But someone should be fired for designing it.
>> But, you don't think that- >> No, I am a car aficionado, I know a good
car.
I like sexy lines.
I know cars of the future.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to the car show this weekend.
And that to me is unattractive.
But guaranteed, we will see a bevy of those.
And probably multiple of those here in Los Angeles, because the status symbol that comes
along with it, from driving a Tesla.
>> Yeah, and also the danger of stray bullets everywhere.
>> Yeah.
>> You know the, yeah- >> Where are you driving where there's stray
bullets everywhere?
>> I just, nobody anywhere, that's why it's so weird.
>> They don't have the Popeye's chicken sandwich, don't go with that truck-
>> The way he threw that- >> There's stray bullets everywhere.
>> Second ball so light, I'm worried this thing can't withstand hail, okay?
>> Yeah, I know, that's true.
You're so right.
>> He's just kinda like- >> The second time-
>> All right.
>> He was like.
>> Well, no- >> I don't know, look, when I come back next
time, we're gonna have an update that I was right.
It was a publicity stunt by Tesla and SpaceX and all those people.
>> I will come back and you do all the credits.
>> Yeah.
>> They'll love you.
Last thing is that what that car really tells me is that Elon Musk wants to be Batman.
