It's nice to read about them actually acting on warnings and stopping such an attack for once.
- Could have hurt rich people.
- There are a lot of potentially violent events that are quietly prevented every day that most people don't hear about.
"mass casualty event" at Tesla headquarters in Texas during a Cybertruck promotion attended by Elon Musk, prosecutors said.
The suspect also appeared to object to technology in modern life.
“I wanna die. My thoughts haven’t been free for over a year. All the electronics around me,” he wrote, according to the arrest warrant.
- Last part sounds like schizophrenia.
  
  Similar to Ted Kaczynski.
- The sixth G is Gun.
- Sounds like he's deeply unwell. Fingers crossed the judicial system actually manages to help him, though I wouldn't hold my breath.
  
  Dont you, like, have to pay MONEY to get helped? Is the US just gonna start "helping" folks with no expectation of exploitative profit? Does the criminal justice system at that level actually do any benefit to those captive, and do they receive REAL not insane therapy that isn't just a giant tough love seminar they bill for?
- Yeah, he traveled to Austin but police aren't saying whether he had any weapons... At this point it sounds like he may have been attempting to provoke a "suicide by cop" scenario. But there's not enough information to say that for sure. I'm just glad they caught the guy before he had the chance to carry out whatever he was actually there to do.
- It doesn’t sound like he wanted to hurt Elon specifically
  That's too ba- I mean thank god this man was caught!
- Sounds like a plan to commit suicide by cop.
From BlueSky: "He planned to drive one off the lot."
Elon's conspiracy bullshit coming home to roost.
Will not be convicted but will be committed.
- What do you mean "committed"? To a mental institution or a prison?
  
  It's a mixture of both. Called a forensic psychiatric hospital.
