Cyber Warfare
A Tesla Cybertruck was noticed plowing down a freeway at night time riddled with dozens of what seem to be bullet holes in its aspect doorways — and we’re simply as baffled as you might be.
Footage of the encounter was posted by the Tesla House owners Silicon Valley account on X, previously Twitter, purportedly taken by a member of the membership.
And sure, it will get even wilder. Elon Musk, CEO of the automaker, replied to a repost of the video to apparently make clear what occurred, however actually solely befuddled everybody much more.
In line with Musk — assuming he wasn’t joking around or spreading chaos, as he is identified to do — it was really him and his engineers that had been accountable for the injury.
“We emptied your complete drum journal of a Tommy gun into the motive force door Al Capone model,” Musk stated in a post on X. “No bullets penetrated into the passenger compartment.”

Shoot to Thrill
We have now numerous questions, similar to: why? And is that this not type of a loopy factor to joke about, not to mention earnestly declare?
It is price noting that Tesla has said that the Cybertruck could be bulletproof. Infamously, that promoting level did not come to fruition when Musk threw a metal ball at a Cybertruck window throughout an on-stage demonstration, which shattered. From what we are able to inform from the hazy new footage, it would not appear to be bullets had been shot on the glass, and doubtless for good purpose.
On the very least, these gaudy stainless-steel panels, which aren’t any much less of an eyesore when dimpled with quite a few bullet holes, are form of good for one thing, if true. And in opposition to all odds, actually. It is an unorthodox selection for ballistic safety and, whereas we’re at it, something car-related.
In fact, Musk has a historical past of creating outlandish claims in regards to the Cybertruck’s capabilities, so he could very properly be pulling our legs right here.
Previously, he is said that the rigidly formed SUV won’t solely be waterproof, however really double as a boat. Much more openly, Musk hinted {that a} “pressurized model” of the automobile would be able to survive on Mars. And that is with out moving into the zany claims he is made about earlier Tesla autos.
Then once more, we would not put it previous Musk to really mag-dump a submachine gun into his firm’s pricey truck that has been mired in setbacks. Perhaps it was his means of blowing off some steam.
