okey, that headline is dumb as fuck as well. i think there is enough evidence for the wildfire even without the falcon 9 photo 🤣

So where's the evidence for such a grand claim? According to the Maui truthers, it can be found in the aforementioned Falcon 9 launch photo from May 2018. The lovely Falcon 9 streak photo has been used on Facebook, Reddit, Truth Social, and certainly other dens of conspiracy theories to purportedly show a directed energy weapon in action, blasting a target on the surface of Earth.

They're not denying the wildfires happened, they're going "space laser" cuckoo for Coca Puffs.

It was those same lasers that brought down the twin towers in 2001!

Jewish space lasers can't melt steel beams!

they're blaming the wildfire on space lasers because these people can't possibly admit that climate change is going to ravage our towns
