That Didn’t Take Long

 Domestic Enemy Hat:

waiting to see if that Cybertruck will be spun as a terrorist attack or a design innovation
The wait is over. Kinda depends on what exploded. I don’t really turn to Elmo and his Twitter fans for expertise on explosions. Or advice on car design, either.
McMahill said the truck was in front of the hotel for 15 to 20 seconds before it exploded. He said that it was rented in Colorado and license plate readers caught it arriving in Las Vegas Wednesday morning. 
The sheriff said Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped the investigation by having the truck unlocked after it auto-locked in the blast and giving investigators video of the suspect at charging stations along its route from Colorado to Las Vegas.
Wait, what? Is auto-locking in an explosion a safety feature?

Elmo reposted several tweets claiming to see evidence of a detonation device in the photo of the wreckage. Let’s see: Twitter v actual expertise? Tough call. 🤔
Can’t yet rule out the driver was just stupid. Pictures of the wreckage show fireworks, gasoline cans, and camping canisters. Can’t really reach any conclusions yet.

In the meantime, the argument for a federal SLAPP statute grows stronger.
