Tyler Robinson’s Secret Ride: WSJ Uncovers Surprising Night With Mysterious Uber Driver

Ever taken an Uber and thought, “Well, I hope this 12-minute journey doesn’t become national news in a half-decade”? Yeah, me neither . Isn’t it just wild how one uneventful ride to CVS—the kind that’s so forgettable you could swear you never bought that toothpaste—could spiral into the beating heart of a bombshell investigation? Picture this: the Wall Street Journal’s digging through ride receipts, and suddenly, it’s not about the shooting anymore—it’s about Tyler Robinson tipping his transgender Uber driver two bucks and saying “Thanks .” I mean, have we finally reached the point where your rating on a rideshare app might be used as a character witness (or indictment) in the court of public opinion? If every mundane interaction in life ends up under a microscope, should I start complimenting my barista’s latte art a bit more enthusiastically, just in case? Hold on tight—because this article’s grip on causality and common sense is about as steady as Robinson’s memories of his toothpaste haul . LEARN MORE.

ST. GEORGE, UT—As questions continue to swirl regarding the motive behind last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell investigation Monday that suggests alleged gunman Tyler Robinson, 22, once had a transgender Uber driver. “In its thorough examination of the suspect’s activities in the years leading up the shooting, the Journal found evidence that in March 2021, Robinson rode for nearly 12 minutes in the backseat of a Nissan Sentra driven by a transgender woman,” veteran investigative journalist James Kovacs wrote in the article, which reports that Robinson appeared to have been satisfied with the experience, having given the driver a perfect five-star rating and a $2 tip. “While it could not be definitively determined whether Robinson was radicalized during the drive from his home to a nearby CVS location, it could not be ruled out, either, as he is believed to have exchanged a few brief words with the trans individual before inserting his earbuds and remaining silent for the rest of the trip. At this time, it would be premature to draw a direct line of cause-and-effect between this journey to pick up toothpaste and shaving supplies and the killing of Charlie Kirk four and a half years later. However, the Journal continues to investigate any interactions Robinson’s may have had with transgender waiters, transgender bank tellers, or transgender passersby in the park.” The article added that it was possible Robinson was indoctrinated into “gender ideology” during the ride and that this was the reason he reportedly said “Thanks” to the transgender woman as she dropped him off at the curb.
