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.
Would make a sick punk album cover
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?
2025 in a pic
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
Say, that does look like Blade Runner...
The presidency is a dumpster fire
On wheels
Welcome to 2025.
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.
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.
The fire looks like a monster about to eat a waving person.
