A video circulating on Reddit has sparked outrage after a man in Georgia was caught on camera berating two young Muslim girls for praying in a parking lot. The man, who was driving a Tesla Cybertruck, reportedly yelled at the girls, calling their God “false” and telling them to “go back to their country.”
In the video, the man–described by some commenters as a “CyberC*nt” and a “Deplorian”– pulls up to the girls as they pray. He proceeds to mock their faith and makes xenophobic remarks, seemingly unaware of the theological similarities between Islam and Christianity. One commenter noted, “Accusing someone of worshipping a false god while sitting in a Cybertruck is poetry Shakespeare would’ve been jealous of.”
The footage clearly shows the man’s Georgia license plate number, prompting many to call for consequences. One Reddit user wrote, “Find him and where he works, let his employer know his other side.” Another pointed out that his plate is fully visible in the video, making it easy for authorities or his employer to identify him.
While the man’s identity has not yet been confirmed, the video has fueled discussions about the rise in public harassment targeting marginalized groups. Some users noted that such behavior is becoming more normalized. “Also, he wouldn’t have dared to say that shit in public. Now, it’s all just normal apparently,” wrote one commenter.
Beyond the immediate outrage, many saw the incident as part of a larger pattern of intolerance, largely brought about by the Trump administration’s mass deportation and generally divisive policies. Several pointed out the hypocrisy of a man driving an expensive electric vehicle –once the subject of right-wing criticism– while simultaneously espousing far-right views. One Redditor quipped, “Six months ago he was making fun of electric cars. Bet.” Another speculated about his personal life, writing, “Six months ago he wasn’t in his midlife crisis, he was still married, and his kids still talked to him.”
The incident reflects a disturbing trend of anti-Muslim rhetoric and public harassment in the U.S. A Reddit user summed up the ignorance at play: “This guy doesn’t even know the name of the religion he’s so upset about, so I’m not surprised he doesn’t know the basics of either their religion or his own.”
