Brands react to Elon Musk's live Cybertruck demo gone-wrong

When Tesla CEO Elon Musk broke the Cybertruck’s "bulletproof" windows during a live demo on Thursday, what was your initial reaction? Did you feel bad for him? Think he handled it well? Or maybe you thought it was yet another Musk PR stunt?

Yikes! I like Elon Musk, but this is a disaster.

Tesla wanted to show off its Cybertruck's "bulletproof" windows but it shattered immediately with a metal ball.

"We’ll fix it in post," Musk joked. pic.twitter.com/oWLHFwaVOH
