Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon and John Taylor came under fire this week for posting a photo of themselves next to a Tesla Cybertruck – which they swiftly deleted.On Tuesday (May 21), the new wave legends posted the image on their Threads account, under the caption: “You’ll never forget your first Tesla Cybertruck”.Before long, the post was coming in for criticism from Threads users, with an anti-Elon Musk theme that is common on the platform.“Her name is Rio and she can’t drive in the sand,” read one reply, while another Threads user simply said: “A View to a Shill”.Guys?
