WhistlinDiesel alive after Cybertruck crash rumor
A cryptic TikTok video showed a damaged Tesla Cybertruck with text suggesting something happened to WhistlinDiesel, sparking death rumors.
Cody Detwiler, known as WhistlinDiesel, is alive and active; his July 24 Instagram post promoted his upcoming 'Cybertruck Durability Test 3 (The Finale)' video.
Detwiler wrote that the video cost over $100,000 to make, confirming he is continuing his usual content of destroying expensive vehicles.
No verified report or official confirmation supports the death rumors; they stem from the TikTok teaser wording and lack evidence.
False celebrity death rumors, like this one, are common on social media and often spread before being debunked.
