Spintex crash: Identity of Cybertruck owner unconfirmed
While the news of the accident spread like wildfire, the identity of the vehicle's owner was not immediately established.
Nonetheless, popular Instagram Blogger, Hyper Master, who posted the video online, claimed that a business mogul from Accra, Ghana, owns the luxury vehicle.
However, he did not disclose the name of the person or give any additional information.
While the accident was unfortunate, the incident created a platform for netizens to introduce a whole new line of conversation — How many people in Ghana have acquired the latest editions of the coveted vehicle?
Tesla Cybertrucks are extremely rare to find in Africa, and those who have them tend to have a great deal of wealth and influence because of their extremely high price and the sheer level of manoeuvring it takes to buy one.
