For like 3 hours, it was glorious as my friend group wondered what part of the Cybertruck could have spontaneously combusted.
Then video came out and there's colorful lights and we still weren't sure.
It took a official report before we accepted it was a car bomb.
*bomb car
All I read is the truck bed was filled with flammables. ' Is there a believable source for
A. Whether the driver started the fire or it was sparked on accident.
B. If it was not intentional, what was the actual target?
Some surprisingly low end explosives for a decorated green beret guy with his level of access. Fireworks and petrol cans?
I’m still not sure if it was an intentional car bomb or if he was transporting fireworks to use later that night and something about the car set them off.
A fully enclosed in aircontioned truck bed with a black lid in Las Vegas heat perhaps?
Is still probably intentional, otherwise it’s one of the more epic Darwin Awards.
He was shot in the head prior to the explosion going off. Seems unlikely that sequence of events was accidental.
Yeah i just found this out late last night though
TIL
FSD=Fully Self Detonating.
I actually, genuinely thought it was an accidental fire.
Speaks to the shit reputation those shit trucks deservedly have. But also how dumb of a location for an intentional fire.
See that's the thing.
Is a trunk/bed full of fireworks and gas average cyber truck stupidity or a real lazy attempt at arson/terrorism.
I think it might have been more about the message a burning cybertruck, in front of a trump hotel, right by the trump sign, sends, than it was about the violence. Especially since the person is military trained and knew this wasn't going to go all OKC federal building.
The Delorean fan in me loves the asthetic and used to get jealous.
Cyber trucks being POS deathtraps that basically fall to pieces when you breath on them, their inability to do anything a normal truck can do, and the fact they make you bleed touching an door alleviated that completely.
So thanks for making them embarrassing junkers, Elon.

I almost agree with you, but the subtle changes made from the concept to reality make it not even look cool like it could've
For the comparison.
"car"
Self controlled IED
My first thought was literally "was it a bomb or did the batteries ignite?"
The cyber truck is exactly what I would expect from someone whos only job experience is memes and shitposts. A rolling dumpster fire, mocked by everyone.
Eh, my kids think they're cool, so they have the K-6 market cornered.
No offense to your kids specifically, but children are dumb as fuck.
No offense taken. To them, being "different" is enough, unless "different" gets you bullied, facts just get in the way.
Kids aren't dumb, just inexperienced.
"The future should look like the future." - Elon Musk
The cybertruck future looks like 1982's Blade Runner.
Now please all aboard the SpaceX rocket everybody! A 6 barrel revolver with a single bullet is added for a fun game of Russian roulette. Just to out your mind at ease, the gun is not the biggest threat to your life.
SpaceX hasn't killed anyone, incidentally it's also the company musk has the least power over.
And? That is the bar it needs to cross to not be a steaming bad of turds?
Not, really, it would need to be better, by every measure, than all of its competition. And SpaceX is.
I wouldn't necessarily call those two facts "incidental". I'd be pretty confident calling it "cause and effect".
akchually this can be legitimately spinned in favour of tesla
police are already saying that the explosion wasn’t as bad because it went off inside a cybertruck
Cops will say any damn thing that lets them lick the boot
Cops and simping for the rich, name a better duo
Yeah, it would have been worse if it went off inside something valuable
Pedestrians should be thankful that the windows gave out so easily, otherwise the body panels might've turned into giant shrapnel.
Except in the case of an accidental fire, apparently the doors lock down and trap the drivers? That’s what I took away.
How is that better?
If Trump were already in office I would still think they were covering it up with the claims of explosives.
conspiracy in my opinion: that guy was shot in the head and dumped into that car and then blown up for threatening to out Trump or Musk for some dirty dirty shit.
Someone threatened a powerful person and then the powerful person made sure to retaliate in a highly public way which would link their own brand to the murder?
Sometimes I wonder why my conservative family thinks that liberals are just as conspiratorial as conservatives, then I come across the comment you responded to and go "yeaaaah still don't agree but I see where you would think that" lol
