… Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the Cybertruck was rented to Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army servicemember who was serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident. CBS News spoke to two relatives of Livelsberger who were unaware of any involvement in the incident, but who confirmed he had rented a Cybertruck. One relative told CBS News that Livelsberger’s wife had not heard from him in several days.
McMahill said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.
I will be invoking Occam and Hanlon’s razors on this incident.
1). The simplist answer is usually the correct one.
2). Never attribute to malice what can accuratly be explained by stupidity and incompitence.
Based on the entities who would like the narrative to be anything other than an accident, im not inclined to believe any reports unless they can validate their findings and prove they dont have interests that align with musk or 47, until such a time I believe it was not intentional, likely a manufacturers defect (which are common for that vehicle anyway).
It was a manufacturer’s defect that the truck was loaded with explosives, fireworks, and a detonator? And I’m not talking about the car battery, that was uninvolved.
Was there a detonator? Pretty sure the article says they are still unsure how it ignited.
It had kerosene, an old metal gas can, and a bunch of fireworks. Those could very easily be supplies for a New Years party in the desert.
One generally does not shoot themselves in the head when going to party in the desert.
Shit, is that where I’ve been going wrong?
Like I get we don’t know everything at this point, but a lot of comments saying it could be an accident seem to be glossing over the fact the guy shot himself in the head just before it blew up.
That part wasn’t announced until this afternoon, so it’s understandable.
Depends on the crowd you’re hanging out with.
