Explosion at Trump Hotel: Cybertruck's Mysterious Blast
Las Vegas, USAThu Jan 02 2025
This: a Tesla Cybertruck suddenly explodes outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. One person dies, and seven others get hurt. The blast happens just outside the hotel's glass doors. Officials are trying to figure out if this is linked to a terror attack that occurred hours earlier in New Orleans. They say the Las Vegas incident seems isolated, but they're not ruling out a connection. The Cybertruck was rented in Colorado and drove around Las Vegas for an hour before the explosion. Investigators can't yet explain how the driver ignited the fireworks and fuel canisters in the back of the vehicle. They're also looking into whether the driver targeted Trump's property. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, is an advisor to the president-elect. Both the Las Vegas and New Orleans vehicles were rented through Turo. The company says neither renter had a criminal background. Tesla is investigating the incident.
