The Cybertruck's Rocky Road
The backlash isn't just about the vehicle's unique look. The Cybertruck has faced plenty of real-world issues:

Combine that with the polarizing figure of Elon Musk himself, and it's no surprise the Fortnite community is split on this collab.
Many players are taking to social media to express their distaste for the Cybertruck's inclusion. Some are even calling for a "destroy on sight" policy, where players band together to take out anyone driving the Cybertruck.
