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's conundrum conundumbdumb
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.

>>1371966 I 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.

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. Anonymous

>>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.
