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 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 believe nuclear war was censored because the song came out in 2003.
FCC had temporarily banned a whole bunch of songs from live radio broadcast after 9/11 (Learning to Fly by Tom Petty, literally everything from RATM, many more) and in 2003 a while lot of Americans were terrified that Saddam would nuke us, or Israel, or terrorists would get a suitcase nuke or assemble a dirty bomb and blow up Chicago or something, as basically every journalism outfit in America was credulously reporting everything Bush admin officials were claiming about threats (which they knew were of dubious legitimacy), while the Bush admin itself was basically fabricating a claim to invade Iraq.
The uncensored version released in their album, but the music video and radio versions was censored likely so it could reach a larger audience on MTV and be allowed to be broadcast by the FCC.
