The radical design of Tesla's electric Cybertruck, which was unveiled last week, has caused a storm on social media, with some people calling it "courageous" and others "ridiculous".
Elon Musk launched Tesla's electric pickup truck last week at an event near the company's SpaceX factory in Los Angeles, USA. The Cybertruck features an unusual angular, wedge-like body made from stainless steel.
Reactions to the reveal of the truck's radical design were mixed on social media.
David Marcus, the co-creator of Facebook's currency Libra, who previously ran Musk-founded online payments company PayPal, recognised that not everyone was a fan of the design, but praised its "audacity".
"I love the audacity and courage it took to create a vehicle that looks like it dropped from a sci-fi movie," he said.

Musk had told Vox journalist Kara Swisher in a November 2018 interview that the car would be "a really futuristic-like cyberpunk, 'Blade Runner' pickup truck".
The Tesla founder tweeted his appreciation for Blade Runner's art director Syd Mead on Saturday, who told Business Insider that the Cybertruck is "stylistically breathtaking".
