The car had fireworks in the back that caught fire. It being an EV or Tesla had nothing to do with it (except maybe it being hard to put out after the fireworks lit it on fire).

Still fucking weird.
There’s pictures of the bed, I spy fireworks and race fuel.
Wow that is quite a collection of flammables… race fuel and camp fuel and fireworks all piled in together? WTF was going on with this guy?
Dafuq is this thing? It looks spherical, not like a cylindrical gas can.

Going around buying all the burny and splodey stuff they could, is my guess.
According to Musk after commenters speculated it was fireworks.
There is also a dead body in the vehicle so none of it is adding up. May have been a failed suicide attack as likely as fireworks.
It was an attack. Whether the guy intended to commit suicide is unclear.
My parents told me they were planning on buying a tesla in the future. I threw up in my mouth a little.
Is Tesla boomer slang for any EV?
Like how my mother bought one of them Nokia iPhones?
What a photo.
The guy in the truck who died is like some MAGAtard voting for his own demise. The injured passersby are all of us. And the turd of a vehicle on fire, shitting up the air we all breathe, stationed at the foot of that gaudy facade of fake gold and all caps TRUMP (likely financed by the blyats), well, that all just speaks for itself.
why would a right wing person do something like this? doesn’t this look handcrafted to make the right look bad?
He was a MAGAt, https://lemmy.world/post/23820750.
A portent from the heavens! When a Musk approacheth the big strong Trump, he shalt be quite hot and poppeth early!
I don’t think cars are supposed to Allahu-Akbar like that.
That was Elmo warning the orange one to follow along on the H1B thing or he’s next.
