Yeah, totally not a metaphor.https://nypost.com/2025/01/01/us-news/wild-video-shows-tesla-cybertruck-on-fire-outside-trump-hotel/Wild video shows a Tesla Cybertruck in flames Wednesday outside a Trump Tower — ironically as Tesla owner Elon Musk saw in the New Year with the hotel’s namesake, President-elect Donald Trump.The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed it was “investigating a vehicle fire at the entrance to Trump Towers,” without elaborating on how it started or if it was suspicious.A video taken by a hotel shows the Tesla electric pickup truck parked just outside engulfed in flames and emitting giant plumes of smoke seen across the Strip.“The battery blew I think,” someone can be heard saying as bangs and whistles could be heard on the video quickly seen more than 1.5 million times on Musk’s own social media site, X.
tRump will give Musk taxpayer $ to fix this battery bug. What a choice, stay with the vehicle, and get burned, or leave and get eaten alive by LAND SHARKS!
Never take a battery into an elevator for this very reason. Imagine if this was in someone’s garage and that ugly so called truck blew up.
1 dead and 7 injured so far: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/01/01/tesla-cybertruck-explodes-outside-trump-international-hotel-las-vegas/77383966007/
Did anyone get a chance to plant an ISIS flag in the truck?
>>1371922Let me guess... another liberal terrorist wasting huge amounts of money in the most absurd way.
>“We saw that smoke start showing from the vehicle and then a large explosion from the truck occurs.”This isn't how bombs usually work, for the record.The driver is dead and his family is about to win a huge settlement.
>>1371966Oh, and apparently the whole notion of "it was likely a terrorist attack" came directly from Elon Musk. I can't find another source.
>>1371931tRump was correct to leave the sinking electric boat and be eaten by sharks. At least an endangered species gets a big fat meal, N'yuck N'yuck
>>1371966I mean, if it was a suicide bombing why the fuck would you just wait on the side of the building instead of say, driving straight in. If the guy wasn't inside, I'd be more convinced it was an actual terror attack. But the fact he was still inside and yet chose to politely detonate on the side of the street convinces me otherwise. Nevermind the fireworks don't really work for terror reasons.I don't blame the FBI for saying they're looking to see if it is one though, they kinda have to every time a decent explosion happens. Musk is absolutely trying to avoid people realizing these things are ticking time bombs though by saying it has to have been intentional.
>>1371922Those fumes are certainly toxic. They should fine Musk for polluting.
>>1371964Nope it was a magat

>>1372010The military hates Trump.
>>1372023Haha, grunts gate him(sucker's & losers) and brass hate him, because he wants loyalty to him, rather than the constitution. Only the Captains, lieutenant s etc like him
>>1372023Except for General Flynn and his cult of followers
> Firework mortars and camp fuel canisters were found stuffed into the backSounds like he was going to go camping and shoot off fireworks
>>1372042Naah he made a detonator which he set off as he parked in the loading zone of the hotel
>>1372042>>1372007
>>1372043Where are you getting that info?
>>1372050https://lacartita.com/explosion-de-tesla-frente-instalaciones-de-trump-y-ataque-en-nuevo-orleans-conectados-posiblemente/>The Las Vegas sheriff’s office confirmed the explosion was deliberate, with the detonator discovered inside the vehicle. The driver, who is now deceased, was identified, but officials are not yet prepared to release his identity. The FBI is also involved in the investigation. Las Vegas police expressed their gratitude to Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, for swiftly providing necessary information about the explosion. NBC has reported that the same rental service, Turo, was used in both the Las Vegas incident and a separate deadly truck attack in New Orleans.
>>1372051Woah
>>1372051>Yeah we'd like to personally thank Elon Musk for this. It was totally a bomb>Ignore the fact this guy had a military background and politely waited on the sidewalk instead of driving into the building despite remaining patiently in the vehicle You know, if companies are willing to kill whistleblowers to avoid being connected to dangerous design oversights, I'm fairly certain they'd bribe officials too.
>>1372063Elon unlocked the car remotely for the cops. He went on to say the lock engaged automatically in the explosion.
>>1372064https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/elon-musk-posts-on-social-media-that-cybertruck-explosion-was-caused-by-fireworks-or-bomb/
>>1372064>Car locks automatically when it detects fireAnd you wonder why people think this thing exploded on it's own. Fucking deathtrap on wheels.

>>1372081That article says he was stationed in Germany. I guess he went back to America during the holidays?
>>1372027>Only the Captains, lieutenant s etc like himDoubt. Degree holders (i.e.: the professional class) tend to really dislike the T-man. The higher the degree, the less likely they'll support him.
>>1372010This is so fucking beautiful. On the same fucking day an Islamic ISIS dude and a right wing white nationalist, both former military, both decide to pull off terrorist attacks. God bless America you seething violent weirdos.
>>1372085Yes he was on vacation, so this was definitely carefully planned.
>>1372094Collusion?
>>1372094>a right wing white nationalistI read this on mastodon as well. The mainstream conservative media is trying to cover it up.
>>1372094>The account AF Post, which says it shares "news and alerts from around the world, from an America First perspective," posted on X, formerly Twitter: "The man who exploded himself in the Tesla Cybertruck at Trump's Las Vegas hotel, Matthew Livelsberger, was a Trump supporter with a love for fireworks.">The post, which had had more than 40,000 views at the time of writing, included screenshots of comments seemingly made by a user named Matt Berg on a Facebook post.>There are three social media accounts that have received attention since the attack: a LinkedIn account linked to Matt Livelsberger, a Facebook account linked to a Matt Berg, and a Facebook account linked to what appears to be a wife or girlfriend of Livelsberger, named Sara Livelsberger.>As well as the surnames being different, the man in the pictures on the Berg Facebook profile looks different from the man in the pictures on the Matt Livelsberger LinkedIn accoun, and on the Sara Livelsberger Facebook page.Kek
>>1372184/pol/ is always wrong
Those damn leftwing white nationalist MAGA types are trying to kill Trump to stop him from filling the country with brown people.
>Matthew Livelsberger>green beret, expert in small UAS systems and remotely operated electronics>IED in Tesla was comprised of fireworks and fuel>remains burned beyond recognition>driver has gunshot wound to the head, killed himself before bomb went off>ID including passport somehow survive the fire>didn't bother to drive through the glass lobby, just parked it Yeah I dunno about this one chief.

>>1372213uh oh there goes the thinktank narrative
>>1372201If he shot himself how did he engage the detonator?
>>1372221I guess it was like, a delayed detonation and then he shot himself in the delay. Though this also makes this the most convoluted protest(?) suicide I've ever seen.
>>1372223It would be interesting to know more about his military background, like if he had training making IEDs or could make something like a dead man's switch.
This was no act of terrorism.Livelsberger decided to go out 'Merica style!This was an elaborate homage to Trump and Elon as he killed himself.This dude could have plowed the Cybertruck through Trump Hotel killing a lot of people while destroying symbols of both demonstrating his hatred.However, he didn't. Why?To him this was going full 'Merica as he offed himself honoring Trump and Elon.Dude rolls up in a Cybertruck loaded with fireworks, gas and let's it all blow into the 4th of July as he killed himself and no one else. Can't get more 'Merica than that!Dude went full 'Merica in a literal Blaze of Glory!This was Livelsberger's version of going out like SkyKing did in Seattle!Livelsberger = CyberKing.End of Story
>>1372064Can anyone justify why the car would automatically lock in the event of an accident or explosion? When would that ever be useful?
>>1372258Elon makes death traps, this has been known for years.
>>1372273Reminder: Elon killed Mitch McConnel's sister in-law. Any other vehicle and she'd be alive today.
>>1372186>voting for an orange retard on an election platform of 'Build That Wall' and 'Lock Her Up'>No 'Wall'. Hillary not in an Iron Bar Hotel from 2017 to today>voting for an orange retard that would do whatever white rightards wanted for them>orange retard agreeing with appointee Muskrat wanting millions of Indians with H1B visas>there was a MAGAtard in 2017 defecting to the Democrats after Charlottesville: he has been forgiven of his sins for no longer having wrong opinions>there are MAGAtards regretting their voting for said orange retardIt's not only /pol/ that is eternally wrong.Being a white rightard guarantees you being more than wrong in perpetuity.
>>1372277He can't be all bad, then
>>1372322Yeah I guess you're right. But it's also insane that in the event of a loss of a power, that it's impossible to open the doors from the outside. Even opening the back doors from within without power is convoluted.
liberals, I know a lot of people on here are nasty and this board is a shit flinging board, but this is one of those times when republicans tell you something and they are rightHM0JWN
>>1372359You have made a mistake.
already memoryholed
>>1372543Musk is reduced to thinking he has the right to have opinions about other countries' morals when he allows CP on Xitter, and allows the enabler of admitted pedo & founder of Stop The Steal Ali Alexander, Nick Fuentes.You only have the right to STFU in perpetuity, Muskrat. Those who shout the loudest have the most to hide.
