Robert Oneal, a Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck owner from Los Angeles, gained widespread attention after saying he was punched in the face for simply driving the eccentric electric pickup. The attacker allegedly called him a “capitalist swine” before taking a swing, which Oneal described as a “miserable punch.” Despite the altercation, Oneal, a former Navy member, wasn't hurt and even tried to hug the attacker afterward, though it didn't go well.

Rather than holding a grudge, Oneal responded with an unexpected act of kindness. He posted a video announcing that every time he sees another Cybertruck on the road, he'll leave a $1 bill and draw a heart on it, saying, "I'm trying to spread the love." In the video, he placed two $1 bills and a heart drawn in grime on a parked Cybertruck and revealed $100 in singles ready for future encounters.
While many on X supported Oneal's gesture, with one user saying, "All this hate needs to stop," others found it amusing. Oneal joked, "I guess I'm built like my Cybertruck."

However, reactions on Reddit were more critical. In the satirical r/CyberStuck subreddit, one user commented, "It's hilarious how superficial their message is by giving a dollar to every Cybertruck driver. He's treating other Cybertrucks like they're homeless people on the street." Another added, "This is a level of imagined persecution I did not previously feel was achievable by society."
