Tesla Cybertruck Blast at Trump Las Vegas Hotel: One Dead, Seven Injured
FBI Investigates Possible Terrorist Links as High-Profile Explosion Rocks Iconic Las Vegas Boulevard
- Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump Las Vegas Hotel, killing one and injuring seven
- The FBI is investigating the incident as a possible terrorist act involving explosives in the truck’s bed
- The Trump Hotel was evacuated as authorities ensured no further threats to the public
A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump Hotel Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring seven others.
The FBI is investigating the incident, which has raised questions due to its timing and location.
Eyewitness videos captured the shocking explosion, showing flames engulfing the vehicle just outside the hotel. The tragic event occurred mere hours after a separate truck attack killed at least 10 New Year’s Day revelers in New Orleans.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill emphasized the need for answers, citing the high-profile elements of the incident. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and an adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, stated that the explosion was caused by fireworks or a bomb placed in the truck’s bed, not by the Cybertruck itself.
FBI special agent Jeremy Schwartz confirmed the investigation is ongoing, with authorities treating the explosion as a possible terrorist act.
The Trump Hotel was evacuated as a precaution, and no further threats were detected.
This dramatic incident underscores heightened security concerns as the nation transitions into 2025.
