I'm really not understanding. He was supposedly a MAGAt, but he blew up Elon's truck at a Trump building. What the hell was his point?
I guess he figured he'd get more attention for his manifesto if he blew himself up using basically the 2 just talked about symbols. Unfortunately for him, someone else decided to do something similar in New Orleans and killed more people.

His point was mental illness, suffering, and wishing to die with people recognizing his existing
