By the time the cybertruck came out there were better alternatives for less money. Elon had already bought Twitter and was already off the rails MAGA. People knew what they were getting into.

Personally I'm not going lose my mind and boycott an entire company because the CEO is kind of an asshole. I'd run out of companies to shop from, and it's kind of a long list (https://www.newsweek.com/american-businesses-supporting-donating-donald-trump-list-2027957). The sharp and substantial difference here is that in this case the CEO is working to dismantle and takeover our government while casually throwing sieg heils. These are recent developments, and I'll safely assume most Cybertruck/Tesla owners didn't vote for this shit.

You say boycott as if you need to make constant decisions to avoid it when all you have to do is not buy one car. A car that is actually more expensive and less impressive than the other options, so it is not like it actually costs you money to avoid it. Even if you weren't trying to boycott Tesla there are still plenty of reasons to not buy the cyber truck.
