With military experience he’d know a little about fuel air explosives. Powerful fireworks are sufficient for making such a bomb, though they’re technically difficult (you need to trigger the second trigger explosion after the first has spread out the fuel enough to detonate)
I think he was expecting (in Marvin the Martian’s words) an earth shattering kaboom but didn’t do it right
Done right the amount of fuel would have done serious damage - all the energy released in the fire would have been released instantaneously, with a shock wave
I’m still not sure if it was an intentional car bomb or if he was transporting fireworks to use later that night and something about the car set them off.
For like 3 hours, it was glorious as my friend group wondered what part of the Cybertruck could have spontaneously combusted.
Then video came out and there’s colorful lights and we still weren’t sure.
It took a official report before we accepted it was a car bomb.
*bomb car
All I read is the truck bed was filled with flammables. ’ Is there a believable source for
A. Whether the driver started the fire or it was sparked on accident.
B. If it was not intentional, what was the actual target?
Some surprisingly low end explosives for a decorated green beret guy with his level of access. Fireworks and petrol cans?
Duh the actual target was Terrorism.
Since that word had lost all meaning like I said it would once they stuck it to Luigi.
New years fireworks probably .

A fully enclosed in non-air conditioned truck bed with a black lid in Las Vegas heat perhaps?
Is still probably intentional, otherwise it’s one of the more epic Darwin Awards.
Edit: Autocorrect stole my un from air conditioned.
Front row of the Darwin awards all happen to be cybertruck drivers
The lid is stainless steel, not black
Looks black to me.
It does in their promotional pictures now too. Colour me surprised. I shouldn’t be given how much it changed since the prototypes
I wonder if it’s still strong enough to stand on
He was shot in the head prior to the explosion going off. Seems unlikely that sequence of events was accidental.
Yeah i just found this out late last night though
