A photo of a cybertruck burning. The Bluesky post has the text:

Leon Thomas @renegadecut.bs. cybertruck exploded, sending shockwaves through the metaverse costing the city many bitcoins, right outside the golden sigil of a billionaire elected by internet memes into fascist authority.

That window has been closing since 2008. We interact with who we’re supposed to interact with. The chances of me hearing the plight of a third world farmer directly from his mouth is slim to none.
