Despite the recent politically charged environment of the wrestling world, the 5-time WCW World Champion did not directly address the political reasons people have come to hate Tesla and its owner, Elon Musk. Booker T instead explained that he has been waiting for the future to arrive for a long time, and he wants to experience all technological advancements he can before the end of his time on earth:
I got a lot of heat for rolling up in my Cybertruck too, for some reason…A lot of fans hate the Cybertruck. I don’t know why. Maybe they think I’m, you know, I don’t know what they think.…For you young people out there, I’ve been waiting on the future since I was a kid.
I’m not gonna die without having self-drive mode, and all that stuff, to get me around town. I’m not leaving without it, okay? So I’m trying all the gadgets before I get up out of this place. Okay? So don’t hate me for riding in a Cybertruck.
I'm Serious: Booker T
Booker T noted that Cybertruck is a big vehicle, and he is happy with the legroom that comes with it. Instead of getting rid of his Tesla car, the former World Champion said that he is actually thinking of adding the Model X to his collection. Not only that, but the 61-year-old is also hoping for flying cars to become a thing soon enough:
I was the first one, one of the boys, to have a GPS on the road. I’m serious. So my thing is, if it’s something that’s future-related, if I can get a car that can fly before I get up out of here, I’m getting one. I’m serious!
