I mean, we live inside of bullshit town, so it's less unbelievable each day that something like the following is actually true:
They killed a guy or the guy decided to "die for the cause" as a cult member
Remotely drove his dead body in a cybertruck (like the fake FSD "taxi" demonstration from musk the other month)
Parked at decrepit old trump hotel with arrival and lobby area in desperate need of repair, but in a place that would assure press coverage for brand and to stoke bases's victimhood complex
Remotely detonated explosive when it was clear of most people and in a way that was loud and showy, but without extreme loss of life
Cops at first won't name cybertruck directly as involved vehicle as they "investigate" and then immediately cop starts talking in specific detail (uncharacteristic of cops) mentioning truck by name and how that specific brand model truck contained blast probably
Weird press articles about musk response being a "masterclass" in crisis management PR
trump will fundraise a lot off of the "attack" and also make a huge fraudulent insurance claim ridiculously inflating costs of ruined assets and remodeling "there was van Gogh in the lobby, you couldn't see it, but it was there
dead person's writings will serve to radicalize more nutjobs ready for the slaughter as soon as their divorce finalizes.
(Keep in mind that while you were reading all that, musk is on Twitter now admitting, after being publicly caught and humiliated, that he has had fake Twitter accounts for years where he personally goes to his own posts and comments on how great he is, to himself, as the world's richest person, on paper.)
