Elon Musk Urges Customers to Buy 'Tesla Cyberwhistle' Instead of Apple Polishing Cloth

[MacRumors]

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has encouraged customers to buy the "Cyberwhistle" for $50 instead of Apple's much-discussed Polishing Cloth.

The product page, which Musk shared on Twitter on Tuesday evening, offers a limited edition stainless steel whistle with the same distinctive design of the Tesla Cybertruck:

Inspired by Cybertruck, the limited-edition Cyberwhistle is a premium collectible made from medical-grade stainless steel with a polished finish. The whistle includes an integrated attachment feature for added versatility.

In October, Apple released a Polishing Cloth for $19 which quickly became the subject of ridicule due to its presentation and pricing. Musk had already expressed amusement at the Apple Cloth after its release, and in a follow up tweet, he drew a comparison between Tesla's spoof product and Apple's Polishing Cloth.

The Tesla Cyberwhistle was available for $50 and is already sold out. Meanwhile, Apple's Polishing Cloth is heavily backordered, with new orders due to arrive as late as February 2022.

I'm surprised this doesn't cost $69.

Probably has a better chance of actually shipping than the Cybertruck ever does. Probably.....

I love how this man is so rich he can publicly flip the bird anytime he wants at anyone he wants. Thank god for billionaires.

Perfect for the whistleblower in your life

And already the eBay scalpers have come out swinging.

Too bad with all of his money he can't pay someone to teach him to be less of an obnoixous jackass.

I say don’t waste your money on either.

Free advertising for Apple. And telling people not to do something will make them want to do it even more.

Perhaps spending that $50 on dogecoin might be a smarter move…

A week from now, there will be $12 knockoffs available on Amazon.

 

[that be me]

I want off this ride.

Man don’t take life so seriously. It’s awesome when someone can come around and publicly shame a company that had it coming.

Uh ok. You are clearly lost in the irony of what he is doing here.

 

[usr0]

Does he really have that a messianic status in the US that he can sell people whistles?

 

[andySymons]

With regards to the cloth, just use a spectacles cloth which are designed to clean/polish up glass. They are cheap and easy to get hold of at an opticians.

I'm feeling the need to write a Yelp review on this timeline.

 

[Adamhwi]

Uh ok. You are clearly lost in the irony of what he is doing here.

To the contrary, I fully get what he is doing and like I said originally, he’s publicly flipping the bird at Apple. Maybe you’re lost in understanding me?

Until Elon doesn't like it anymore, then he nukes it on Twitter. Guy commits insider trading in broad daylight and doesn't get punished for it.

Whenever people say that Apple Fanatics have no sense of humor and can't take a joke all they'll have to do is point to the comments of this article to prove their point.

He’s publicly flipping the bird at Apple by selling a whistle for $50 that no one has ever seen and offers no shipping date? Riiiiiiight.

What’s the joke? Tesla really is selling a whistle for $50 with no refunds and no shipping dates offered.

Quick question: can Elon just… not?

 

[Solomani]

Too bad with all of his money he can't pay someone to teach him to be less of an obnoixous jackass.

Just a matter of time... until the whistle-blowers gain steam and turn Elon's companies upside down. Like what happened to Blizzard. The hubris and jackassery starts from the top.

I'm rooting for Anonymous to give Elon another beatdown. It was hilarious how Elon suddenly laid low and got quiet on Twitter right after their first warning.
