The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Did... did Adin Ross give Trump the CyberTruck him and his idiot friends shot up? (lemmy.zip)

So, I do not follow Adin Ross, as he is an absolutely detestable idiot.

However, occasionally he does something so stupid it makes its way over to me.

5 months ago, in late February, Adin Ross and a bunch of idiot, barely not children, friends, shot the shit out of his CyberTruck with an AR 15.

To Adin's shock and dismay, this royally fucked up his lowpoly status symbol, with many shots going fully through.

Adin can be heard and seen begging, demanding Elon send him a new one.

Its completely absurd.

Fast forward to today.

Adin and XQC presented Donald Trump with a wrapped CyberTruck as a gift.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rffUumHMxrM&pp=ygUiYWRpbiByb3NzIGdpdmVzIHRydW1wIGEgY3liZXJ0cnVjaw%3D%3D

Ok, so other media are pointing out how this is probably an illegal amount for a donation to a Presidential candidate, how Trump sitting down and doing a stream with multiple 'influencers' is extremely problematic for many reasons...

But what I want to know is ...

... Is this a newly purchased CyberTruck? How could that be, given that the waitlist is huge? Did Elon personally order Tesla to speedrun fixing up or replacing Adin's CyberTruck?

Did XQC have one?

... Or did Adin Ross shoot the fuck out of a CyberTruck, get bits of it repaired, then wrap it in a wrap featuring the image of a triumphant Trump having barely missed being headshot from an assasin, and then give a vehicle full of bullet holes, covered up by a cheap wrap, to Trump?

I feel like I am losing my mind trying to comprehend the fractal layers of insane that would be to do.

Does anyone who maybe knows more about Adin or XQC know more details?

I really, really want it to be the case that I exist in a universe where something so profoundly stupid did not actually occur.

I don't know who anyone mentioned here is except the former president, and I have no intention of watching the videos and giving them further attention.

But none of this shit is real. Whatever he begs Musk for in the video is for show. The so-called gifting is for show. Trump is not going to drive around in a Musk machine.

These videos are Tesla ads, and they are Trump campaign ads. The guy making the ads apparently reaches an audience, so of course they will make sure he has access to Cybertrucks or whatever.

And considering what a piece of shit Musk is, I really don't understand what is surprising here.

It’s especially irresponsible because you just know that this kid and his team (if he has one) gave in to any and all demands of the trump campaign. No leverage, nothing in return, no facts, no value.

Not that I expect a room temperature IQ between the lot of these characters, but somebody, somewhere along the line may have told them this is likely an illegal campaign donation, and the whole story is a pure bullshit publicly stunt. There's approximately a zero percent chance Trump and his team accepted the "gift" for any longer than it takes to get a few pictures. He's already forgotten about them, just like every other weirdo that lines up to kiss his ass.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Don't you dare besmirch room temperature! Adin's IQ is barely above freezing.

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

In rightly picked units (°C) room temperature is slightly over 20, so there's that... ;-)

Colder than a well digger's ass.

I don’t follow Adin, or really anyone, but I also had that video show up in my feed today. Given what you said i wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same one just patched up and wrapped for the stunt. We didn’t see the interior in the video so it could still be rough. Looks all like a PR stunt and the truck isn’t actually being gifted. If it’s called into question it is easy to just say the gift was declined.

Given Musks character, if he was involved, he’d be right there with them delivering the vehicle.

Whatever the truth was, it was all awkward to watch.
