It's not very noticeable in daylight from a distance in the first place, plus you would shoot from inside a room which would all but completely hide it.
(The whole idea seems a bit crazy too, there are a thousand things which can go wrong with a rocket, so let's look for snipers.)

If I didn't know any better, I'd say some guy who both roasted his brain with drugs and spends a lot of time in the company of a person who was sniped at is in charge of the company.

- mingus88 2y agoThis is the first time I’ve heard of this incident and I’m not ashamed to admit that with everything we now know about Musk, it seems totally plausible that he would have internally squashed any other theories. He has convinced his shareholders that FSD will ship by the end of every year for the past decade, so why wouldn’t he believe he could convince the FBI that the only way his super fueling process could have gone wrong is via an action movie sniper plot?

- tekla 2y agoThere are a thousand things that can go wrong when the Rocket is doing things. It exploding while just sitting there doing nothing narrows the possibilities 99.9%.
- actionfromafar 2y agoThings happen while sitting, fuelling etc. But this rocket was in the air when it exploded IIRC.
- tekla 2y agoWhat? Amos-6 blew up on the launch pad. The article headline picture shows it on the pad.
