Oh my god there’s video and it’s beautiful."
@L1vY@mstdn.social Apparently one of the crimes he was charged with was not having a license for a boat. But you don’t need a license to have an anchor!

@_L1vY_ Every story like this makes me realize that the target audience for the Cybertruck was very stupid people. And it seems to have worked.
