Daniel Cannon makes a compelling case that what struck the stones at 04:03:33 was lightning:

CCTV footage:

There are unusual circumstances which support lightning:

- The CCTV shows only the destruction, no trace of human activity

- They released only a low quality, 240p video

- Police have no suspects

- They brought a backhoe and leveled the monument the same day

If this was a lightning strike, it would carry similar symbolism as the one that struck the George Floyd mural, seeing as the Guidestones stood there for 42 years without previously being smitten.
