A tragic incident occurred outside of Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded, claiming the life of one individual. The explosion, captured on surveillance footage, showed the silver vehicle being destroyed by a blast and engulfed in flames.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion, with reports suggesting that the truck may have had “fireworks-style mortars” onboard. ABC News, citing an official briefed on the incident, mentioned that the explosion is being treated as a potential act of terror.
Tech mogul Elon Musk, who heads Tesla, issued a statement indicating that the explosion was likely caused by “very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck” and clarified that the incident was unrelated to the vehicle itself.
As the investigation continues, the community remains shocked by the tragic event and mourns the loss of the individual who lost their life in such a horrific manner. Our thoughts go out to the family and loved ones of the victim during this difficult time.
