Conspiracy theory 35: Vaccines causes magnetism resulting in metal objects sticking to the body. (Can’t make this up that it is believed by some)

Telsa’s foresight built a non-ferrous stainless steel body showing incredible foresight?

Dum dum duuummmm…

Pretty funny!

On a more serious note, the hardening process, via cold rolling, aligns the grains in the metallic structure to make the material harder, stronger and slightly denser. This has the side effect of causing alloys that are non-magnetic to become somewhat magnetic so I expect the outer shell of the Cybertruck will be slightly magnetic.

Yep, not all conspiracy theories are bunk. What HaulingAss is saying is possible. Here's a website with info about it:

Do not expect to reuse the fridge magnets anyway
