One person was killed in a Cybertruck explosion in front of the Trump Hotel… and Musk comments

Las Vegas police announced that a Cybertruck minivan produced by Tesla exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in the American city, killing one person, slightly wounding seven others, and necessitating the evacuation of the hotel.

The owner of the electric car company Tesla, Elon Musk, announced in a post on “X” that the cause of this explosion, which “we have never seen before,” was firecrackers or explosives that were inside the car.

Musk wrote in his post that the explosion “was caused by very large fireworks or a bomb placed in the trunk of a rented Cybertruck truck,” stressing that the explosion “had nothing to do with the vehicle itself.”

The Tesla owner explained that this result was reached by an investigation conducted by senior officials in the company.

For its part, the police announced that they are still investigating to determine the cause of the explosion.

According to the police chief, the electric car stopped at the glass gate of the Trump International Hotel, after which a “big explosion” occurred.
