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.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 22 points 6 days ago (8 children)

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 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.

My first thought was literally "was it a bomb or did the batteries ignite?"

"The future should look like the future." - Elon Musk

The cybertruck future looks like 1982's Blade Runner.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's highly insulting to Blade Runner, which had very stylish vehicles.

It looks like a shell on an El Camino in a straight-to-video 1980s Mad Max ripoff.

If Trump were already in office I would still think they were covering it up with the claims of explosives.

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.

[–] theonlytruescotsman@sh.itjust.works 32 points 6 days ago (6 children)

SpaceX hasn't killed anyone, incidentally it's also the company musk has the least power over.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't necessarily call those two facts "incidental". I'd be pretty confident calling it "cause and effect".

I WANT to give him that credit, but he's never made anything in his life.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Made? Probably not. But I'm sure he's responsible for pushing them out onto the streets knowing what potentially dangerous garbage they are.

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (4 children)

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.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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
