“Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims the explosion has nothing to do with the Cybertruck itself, saying the company was able to remotely access data from this specific Cybertruck to prove it wasn’t caused by the vehicle.”
It is funny to me that this is probable enough they had to disprove it. ”This particular cybertruck didn't catch fire on its own.”
Man-in-pub and bloke-on-Facebook will be citing this for the whole of 2025. "Those electric cars, they're bloody dangerous, they just catch fire, you can't put the fire out, 'ere look at this photo of a Tesla Dumpertruck just the other day, bloody 'ell, I'd never 'ave one, oi, Jeff!, did you see that Range Rover in that car park the other month, on fire it was, can't put it out, bloody dangerous those electric cars… "
@jhavok @wendinoakland It's clearly visible in the video. Trump puts his name in big letters everywhere on his buildings. You wouldn't need to fake that.
@maccruiskeen @wendinoakland I circled Trump International Hotel LV in Google Maps but couldn't find a matching location, however, the imagery is 4 years old. There are a lot of Trump logos, but they don't quite match the one in the photo, they're more garish.
@dj@ti.parcero.casa So I’m the equivalent of a pro-Trump conservative? At least try to learn something about what you’re talking about before broadcasting your ignorance to the general public.
My initial reaction to that image was to laugh because I thought it was probably photoshopped and meant to represent a Musk/MAGA conflagration over H1-B visas.
The article said something about fireworks/mortars/etc., so the fire seems to be due, at least in part, to what was in the truck, as opposed to a malfunctioning battery.
I was waiting for this exterior view, Aral. Thank YOU for providing it. The view from the lobby interior didn't show enough detail of Elon's folly exploding in front of Trump's gaucherie, and those views were all that were being posted earlier Haven't heard yet if any raccoons were injured in this incident. #ExplodingCyberTruck #LasVegas #Musk #Trump #Irony #Symbolism #Metafor #GuillotineJones
What that shows is that if you stuff a Cybertruck absolutely full of fireworks and set them all off at once, you still have some time to wait before the battery will catch fire. By which time you are already dead.
Man, January 1st this year is a good one. We (the US) got a great public domain (Tintin! "All Quiet on the Western Front"! "A Room of Ones Own"! Possibly Magritte's "The Treachery of Images"!) That would've satisfied me, but this too? Maybe it's the universe making up for 2024.
Gotta say, the writing for last season was pretty cliche, but they're really starting with some solid symbolism for this new season. I'm down to see where it goes 🤣
...and already we see the flames of Elon's techno capitalism takeover licking greedily at Trump's most cherished corpo-phallic symbol, anticipating devouring it whole amd burning everything to the ground.
Welcome to 2025 y'all.
Remember: Our enemies greatest enemies are not us, but each other. Meanwhile our greatest strength is each other. Strategize. Organize. Form communities. Co-operate and take action.

For anyone wanting to know, this is more or less likely another attempt trying to assassinate (Former/soon to be)President Trump and not just a case of Elon Musk's cars randomly exploding by the way.

A technical fault more likely?
Even buying a Tesla does not deserve the driver's fate.
