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.

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 misses being headshot from an assasin, and then give this 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 not be the case that I exist in a universe where something so profoundly stupid cannot have actually occured.

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.

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

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