Musk says Cybertruck explosion at Trump Hotel may have been caused by bomb or fireworks
Police have confirmed Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s version of events following a possible terror-related truck attack in New Orleans, according to a report by Cointelegraph.
Musk said the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was caused by explosives or fireworks, and authorities are investigating it as a possible act of terror.
Musk said in a Jan. 1 X post that the explosive material was in the bed of a rented Cybertruck and therefore had nothing to do with the Cybertruck itself: “All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.” He made a follow-up post confirming that Tesla was investigating the incident.
