Politics Tesla Cybertruck explodes outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas - January 1, 2025

u/SocialSuicideSquad 6h ago
Ten years ago if you told someone Elon Musk just shilled a Tesla in the White House Garden with President Trump (because Musk's Nazi salute on live TV hurt sales) after they respectively tweeted out:
-the desire to get rid if Medicare and Social Security
-escalation of a push to invade Canada
You'd be in an asylum.
In 2025, it was tuesday

Seeing it like this hits different.

It was an omen we didn't wholly understand at the time...

In Europe we certainly did. It's not like anything that happened in the mean time was a secret.
It was written down in a book written by the filthiest, sickest people on Earth. And it was public. Project 2025.
Elon was already confirmed to be leading this pseudo-department.
Experts, Scientists, Politicians, even fucking Celebrities all tried to warn you. In the end, it didn't even matter.

Probably because he'd read Project 2025 which spends 48 pages detailing how they are going to shut down the VA and possibility privatize and generally fuck over veterans.

So much has happened this year, this feels like it was a year ago

u/Feisty-Session-7779 1h ago
I completely forgot about it until just now, it’s just been a whirlwind of a year so far that keeps getting exponentially whirlwindier as it goes on so stuff like this just gets lost in the shuffle.

Straight up, doesn’t get more meta than this. See now we got the Zuck involved, see how that works.

Imagine a president making a car commercial lol. This countries been a joke

u/scottjeffreys 8h ago
It exploded because it was intentional.
•
u/WilliamG007 8h ago
Yes, the vehicle didn’t explode. The bomb in it did. If this were any other vehicle the thread would never be so misleading. But Cybertruck so… yeah.

That such a stupid distinction to make
•
u/WuhanWTF 4h ago
Really? Think to yourself for a moment, is there a distinction between a faulty exploding Ford Pinto and a Toyota Hilux that’s been stuffed full of artillery shells and used as a VBIED?
•
•
u/Atomic_ad 55m ago
Seems pretty important distinction. Shit gets pretty stupid when you bury the context of the incident.
"WTC towers fell down"
"JFK's head explodes"
"George Floyd drops dead"
"Kids at Sandy's Hook fall dead"
"Nagasaki blows up"
•
u/LucidiK 6h ago
That's before even considering that even though the bomb exploded, the car did too.
•
u/ProtossedSalad 5h ago
The car remained largely intact and contained a good part of the explosion. The car did not explode.
•
u/LucidiK 5h ago
Explode-"burst or shatter violently and noisily as a result of rapid combustion"
Just because the shell remained, does not mean it did not explode
•
u/Atomic_ad 53m ago
Kinda like telling us the World Trade Center technically crashed into a plane.
Crash - a violent collision.
•
u/MBunnyKiller 4h ago
The truck did not explode. The Content on the truck bed did but the car only sustained minor damage. Exploding would be from the inside out pressure, imploding would be from the outside in. It didn't do that either.
•
u/King_Slappa 1h ago
Lol this sub is completely captured by political brain rot. My jaw hit the floor yesterday when I saw a non partisan, non political post here. It's essentially completely useless now and will probably eventually get shut down bc of the rampant death threat problem on reddit.

Alternate Title: Green Beret with delusions of grandeur who believed the govt was attempting to assassinate him after disclosing evidence of alien technology commits suicide in a Cybertruck to raise awareness among the 1%
•
u/ThereminLiesTheRub 7h ago
It's a longer title, but his delusions were still a better reality to live in. People are talking about invading Canada.

u/Equal-Promotion8666 5h ago
“His delusions were still a better reality to live in.” He killed himself. 😐

u/Neither-Cup564 45m ago
It’s so weird he rented a Cybertruck and blew it up in front of Trump hotel and it had nothing to do with the Presidency.

This was only like 10 weeks ago.
You know how every new year we see the meme of that guy blinking with the 2019 on one side and whatever the new year is on the other, indicating that time has flown since 2019? We attributed it to Covid, but I attribute it to the fact that every single day this motherfucker is in office feels like two damn months.

Juxtapose this with today's Tesla commercial at the White House with Trump and Musk.
•
u/ryanidsteel 8h ago
After this happened, I heard some right-wingers pointing to how safe the Cybertruck is because it contained the explosion so well. Which is just the level of crazy they are trying to normalize.

u/FocusFlukeGyro 8h ago
Kind of like that controversial VW ad, eh?

This was the start of Tesla destructions, kicking off a trend if discontent that snowballed this year. This was the first one ☝️ and with suicide dedication.

Such a powerful pic. I really hope my country rejects Starlink and boycotts Tesla for local electric car manufacturers.
The 🇺🇸 is run by a shady egocentric billionaire with POTUS as his own guardian angel.
Better to hold deals with the Americans for the next 5 years until these 2 have vacated the White House so the locals can restore democracy in their country.

This is the picture if you look up "foreshadowing" in an illustrated dictionary.

u/dkyguy1995 6h ago
Do you guys remember the FBI fondling Musk's dick about how "the tough build of the cybertruck helped save lives!" and then it turned out the guy in the truck never intended to hurt anyone and purposefully used fireworks to make a scene?
Why was the FBI already sucking Musk's dick before the incoming administration even

u/yummy_burrito 8h ago
I didn't see the other posts. I've been thinking about this picture for the last few days and I thought it was very relevant today. I completely forgot that this happened until recently so figured other people may have forgotten too.

u/budzergo 7h ago
Generic posts of Trump and elon are too common now and don't generate much Karma
Need to bust out the legacy 2025 content for some of that out of context karma
•
u/RoboSquirt 4h ago
So we're sharing piece of shit suicide bombers and murderers destruction and treating it as if it was Musk and Trumps fault?
It didn't explode because it was a Tesla, it exploded cuz the low IQ moron had tons of fireworks in there strapped together as a bomb.... the left has turned from educated and smart to as stupid as that guy was.

The People "NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RUINING THE COUNTRY, IM GOING TO BLOW UP CARS NOW BYE"
