Whistlindiesel News

On January 11, 2024, YouTube blogger WhistlinDiesel (Cody Detwiler) and his team appeared in Granby, Colorado. The cause of their action this time was the incident where Marvin Heemeyer drove a bulldozer rampaging in the town on June 4, 2004, and this incident was simply called "Killdozer" at that time.

The WhistlinDiesel team has been looking for the same type of bulldozer that Marvin Heemeyer used in 2004, namely the Komatsu D355A, for many years. In 2023, they found one for sale by a farmer in Montana for $100,000. This bulldozer had been idle in the woods before, and then the team traveled more than 1,500 miles from Tennessee to dig it out. Before this, they only found another similar bulldozer in South Korea.

The WhistlinDiesel team loaded the old bulldozer onto a trailer and transported it back to Tennessee. They posted a related video on YouTube, documenting the experience of seeing the bulldozer in Montana and getting it started. This video quickly became a hit on YouTube. They plan to make some modifications to this bulldozer, such as reinforcing it with armor to replicate Marvin's machine. Their video style is usually full of chaos, instability, and a unique childish charm. They like to challenge the limits of vehicles and cause destruction. Their YouTube channel has a large number of fans, and their videos have received extremely high view counts.

WhistlinDiesel, with his usual fearless spirit and superb skills, is engaged in the interaction with Killdozer. He is not just operating a machine; it's more like dancing with a powerful opponent, and every movement is full of power and precise control.

Whether facing complex operations or unexpected difficulties, WhistlinDiesel overcomes them one by one with his experience and courage. He makes us believe that as long as there are dreams and courage, anything seemingly impossible can become a reality.

What happened to WhistlinDiesel's Ferrari F8?

Unfortunately, his $400,000 Ferrari F8 and a rental minivan were destroyed in an accident while shooting a video for his YouTube channel, although it was unintended.

YouTube sensation Cody 'WhistlinDiesel' Detwiler, with a considerable following of nearly 8 million subscribers, has made waves by expressing his outrage at TikTok for repeatedly deleting his accounts.

The cause of this controversy can be attributed to Detwiler's distinctive and often destructive car-related content. His actions, such as accidentally burning down a Ferrari, rental van, and all his belongings in an August 2023 video, have attracted criticism. TikTok's guidelines against dangerous activities in videos have seemingly triggered the deletions of his accounts.

The course of events unfolded as follows. On July 10, 2024, Detwiler vented his frustration, claiming that he had gone through three or four accounts, all of which were deleted by TikTok. The first account was removed allegedly for his driving and fire-related content. The second account met the same fate when he responded to a comment saying the account wasn't the "real" WhistlinDiesel with a silent video of himself staring into the camera, which was deemed bullying by TikTok. Detwiler expressed his disappointment, stating that even when he attempted to post "cool" content, his accounts were consistently deleted.

Adding fuel to the fire, Detwiler commented that TikTok is for "genuinely braindead people" and that the only successful posts are "brain rot" content. He also mentioned the possibility of TikTok's erasure in the United States, referring to President Biden signing a bill on April 24, 2024, requiring TikTok's parent company Bytedance to sell off its ownership of the app before January 2025 or face a ban. TikTok, however, filed a lawsuit against the US shortly after, arguing that the bill is "unconstitutional" and violates citizens' right to free speech.

The outcome of this situation remains somewhat unresolved. While WhistlinDiesel's outcry has drawn significant attention and support from his followers, it's unclear whether TikTok will respond or take any action to rectify the situation. This incident serves as a reminder of the power dynamics between content creators and social media platforms, and the importance of clear communication and fair treatment for all involved.

It will be interesting to see how this story develops in the coming days and whether it leads to any changes in the way TikTok handles account deletions or interacts with its creators.
