I probably should have explained, but didn't think anyone here would care and honestly don't think it matters considering the result. :)
What supposedly happened is complicated and not much backstory is given in the PC game. Militech+NUSA hatched the plan to destroy Arasaka HQ in Night City, and Silverhand just went along with attack team to 1. Save his girlfriend who was imprisoned there, and 2. Stick it to The Man, the man being Arasaka - one of the evil corpos of the Cyberpunk universe. It's debatable whether he had anything personally to do with the nuke itself, since he was in another part of the building, and other people were in charge of the detonation. Maybe Arasaka spread the rumor about him being the primary attacker because they needed a villain. But most players in love with Johnny don't know all those details. He's just "the rocker who blew up Arasaka and he totally acts like an asshole at first but he's just misunderstood and really sweet once you get to know him".
