Man, I want to get this printed and framed. What a great shot
Edit: Never mind. Didn't know the driver died inside. That would be a weird thing to keep on my wall

In a weird way that makes the picture better. Elon and Trump are still alive after all the horrid shit they’ve done but that guy who died, who may have been a piece of shit and was definitely an idiot, was likely working class even though they had enough money for the vehicle whose poor design resulted in his death.
On top of the car being rented, it seems the driver loaded it up with a homemade bomb which is the reason it blew up. They also seem to have shot themselves in the car before it exploded. So this one was not in fact because of shitty engineering (though the cars are certainly shittily engineered).
It was a rented car
Something about the commentary on renting that piece of garbage yadda yadda.
I dunno, I’m sure I could pull all kinds of meaning that I like from it…and I think will, in an artistic kinda way.
So you are not asking the killed driver for forgiveness for your distasteful claims?
Ehhh, it's being investigated as a terrorist attack. Could just be another piece of shit that died. Bad ass photo.
It needs to be investigated. Teslas fund the next generation of terror.
Welcome to 2025.
Say, that does look like Blade Runner...
Its natural state
This is either the saddest funny photo, or the funniest sad photo, I can't exactly tell which...
Sucks that so many people had to get hurt for it to exist.
Oh shit, so this is real. I've been staring at this pic for a good few minutes on both my phone and pc to figure out if it's ai or not and if people just go along with some joke. The quality of the picture has this uncanny vibe I get from image gens because I have an impression that there are artifacts but can't quite point them out. The picture itself is also exactly something that would cross someone's mind to draw/generate to reflect what's happening out there.
Edit: One of the things that I noticed but forgot to mention is smoke gethering at the top of the frame as if it was a wall/box blocking it from escaping.
The smoke is gathering at the top of the frame like that because the building has an overhang at the entrance. Presumably the security camera that caught the footage in the article you linked is mounted on the overhang.
Yeah, I didn't knew that before I decided to look it up. I took my time because I wanted to figure it out by myself before fact checking. haha
My head cannon is this is peak America, man rents a cyber truck to goto Mexico to buy illegal fireworks because freedom, man decides he wants to express his God given right to blow shit up while drinking in the desert (hence the camp fuel) stops at casino to gamble like a proper American.
And being an American he doesn't have the education to understand flammable items shouldn't be stored in an oven.
News said he was a green beret and that he shot himself before the explosion so I'm pretty sure he understood it was flammable
I accept that, I'd change that aspect to; I think we can blame Elon for this one. Tesla had some kind of short, fire started and the thing locked itself because apparently that happens now. He realized he was going to die and shot himself to avoid burning to death. Explosion happened due to the fire from the short.
Would make a sick punk album cover
The presidency is a dumpster fire
On wheels
2025 in a pic
Has Trump been... fired?
Not yet unfortunately
In fact (as much as it pains me to say) before the month is out they're effectively getting a promotion from president elect to president before the month is out.
NGL I was really hoping they'd get a promotion to federal prison inmate by this point
When was he promoted from Musk's vice president?
What happened really?
The trunk/bed was full of fireworks and gasoline canisters and the whole thing went up. I haven't found anything on known motives.

We're still piecing it together.
But the driver was a veteran and the trunk of the Tesla was filled with fuel and fireworks. The car was rented.
There's speculation that it was related to another veteran who ran people over in New Orleans around the same time who had literal ISIS bumper stickers on his truck.
The fire looks like a monster about to eat a waving person.
