A Florida man has been arrested for allegedly planning to commit a mass casualty incident at a Tesla-sponsored event hosted by CEO Elon Musk.
Advertisement According to a Travis County arrest warrant, Paul Ryan Overeem, 28, was booked on suspicion of making a terrorist threat, which is a third-degree felony.
Authorities said that on November 9th, the 28-year-old, going by the handle “ufotnoitalumis,” made many online threats against Tesla’s Cybertruck promotional event in Austin, Texas, on Thursday. He conveyed these messages via an Instagram exchange.
The threats included: “But yeah so at teh (sic) Tesla event I’m planning to attach (sic) so up to you guys to stop me… I plan on killing people at that even (sic) ok (sic) November 30th and I would like you do something about it so I don’t have to” as well as “I wanna die.”
Additionally, Overeem blamed “technology” as being a key reason why he was not able to express himself.
“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
According to Travis County Sheriff’s Detective Jennifer Borland, the statements created Overeem’s potential to “carry out his threats of a mass casualty event.”
Instagram gave authorities the phone number associated with the user account “ufotnoitalumis,” which was traced back to Overeem, whose Chevy Tahoe truck was then later spotted in Austin, according to the affidavit.
Overeem was booked into custody on Wednesday and is currently being held on $300,000 bail, jail records show.
Thank goodness it was only Florida Man so the scheme was poorly planned.
And “all the electronics around me” means he doesn’t even know to put on a “tinfoil hat” (aluminum foil).
Sounds like a Bee name: Paul Ryan Overeem LOL!
Did Paul Ryan and Alistar Overeem (MMA fighter) have a love child?
“...arrested for allegedly planning to commit a mass casualty incident at a Tesla-sponsored event ...”
He was going to recharge a flood-car Tesla and bring it to the event.
The UFOs our FReeper friends say can do this, did it.
Sheesh. Did he have a gub, too? What atrocious spelling and grammar.
Can a Tesla power an electro-shock therapy machine?
Sounds like your typical democrat base voter to me. Except quite a bit more intelligent than the average Democrat voter.
“HE WANTS TO DIE”
HELP HIM TO DO SO.
He couldn’t express himself because of technology, so he made ONLINE threats? What am I missing?
Musk needs to realize that he is now a target.
What? A casual mass gathering of Tesalites? Assclowns gonna be assclowns
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
“They’re blinding me with science”
This is one instance where a tin foil hat could have helped this man. All those commands over the airwaves telling him to go after Musk would have been blocked, filtered out..
Proof the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s need to be reopened ASAP!
Problem is if they are reopened and the 1950s standards for incarceration are brought back many of the Biden Administration will be the first in line for beds.
The excerpt contains no evidence of an actual plot or plan beyond the nutter’s words. So yeah, good idea to round him up but let’s not get carried away
The deep state it letting Elon know he has a bullet with his name on it if he doesn’t play ball.
