I fully agree. If I were a billionaire, I would be "let's get a team together and come up with a strategy" levels of nervous. See, the 1% has sort of dehumanized themselves, by creating this decades-long narrative that they're this untouchable caste almost on the level of Demigods, and the closer you get to God, the further you get from Human. Now that one has been shot and killed in broad daylight in the middle of NYC, and again with the idiots on the homemade submarine, that narrative is obviously untrue. When a dragon is slain, we don't mourn its death, we cheer the Dragonslayer. So, if I were in the 1%, I'd be very worried about appearing all too human, all too quickly.

Doomsday bunkers were an obsession back in the 2000s for billionaires. If you think about their ideas from that framework it puts some of their stupid inventions into perspective. The cybertruck is the vehicle Musk would want to be in during a riot against him if he isn't on Mars at the time.

Considering how fragile it is, its the vehicle i hope he's in in a riot against him

I saw whistlin disel's video on it, and it seemed to prevent people from getting to you despite being easy to damage the vehicle itself. I think it sucks too, but most cars don't use double pane shatterproof windows on the side. It seems like every window is similar glass to a standard windshield so it won't collapse.
