    Yesterday the explanation that made the most sense to me was what someone else on here proposed. This guy wanted to blow up a bunch of random shit in the desert and accidentally detonated it prematurely. That was the only explanation which gave him any kind of plausible deniability for being the donkey of the week.

    But nope, it was actually a car bomb. A green beret specially trained in explosives, Rambo fleeing to Mexico with multiple agencies on his tail, and this is what he builds. The cybertruck is already like if you asked a toddler to design a truck. He built a car bomb like that same toddler would. Filling it with fireworks because wow go boom. This is donkey of the month-tier failure and him doing it because NATSEC podcasts scared him over Chinese weather balloons is chefs-kiss

        I’m still not convinced it wasn’t. There are multiple videos of the body of the truck being electrified and shocking people. I wouldn’t feel safe storing fireworks or propane in it. The latest news I saw was that he shot himself prior to the explosion though. It’s so embarrassing either way but somehow worse if this is what he actually intended to do.

          The odds of that kind of failure within 15 seconds of parking in front of the hotel just doesn’t make sense to be pure chance. Why not at one of the 12 charging stations he went to? Not to mention shooting himself.

            I’m just trying to give him an excuse. There’s a long history of US military veterans snapping and I can’t think of any that were this comical. It’s like the Coen brothers directing Rambo.
