    Cybertruck exploded in Vegas, in front of Trump Hotel.

    Elon Musk: “We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.”

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            That’s not an Islamic attack. That is a targeted and specific attack over politics.

            With all the cameras in Vegas AND car rental locations, the first level perp should be fairly simple catch.

              We don't know for sure, but you're probably right. Not islamic.

              Still terrorism, tho?

              car rental locations,

              This was another Turo - probably no cameras involved at point of rental.

                            Two terrific comments I saw on Reddit about this photo.

                            image.png

                            "This is how Trump and Elon's relationship will look like in a year."

                            "If you told me this was a scene from an 80s action flick, I wouldn't have questioned it for a second." 😄
