A deadly explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck rocked the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing the driver and injuring several others. The FBI is now probing the incident for possible terrorist connections, following a similar attack in New Orleans.
A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday, killing the driver and injuring seven others. The FBI is investigating the blast as a potential act of terrorism, particularly following a similar incident in New Orleans, where a truck attack killed 15 people. Eyewitness videos captured the explosion, sending flames and smoke into the air, and authorities later discovered burned canisters inside the truck, suggesting explosives may have been involved.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed on social media that the explosion was caused by large fireworks or a bomb in the truck’s bed, not the vehicle itself, and stated that "all vehicle telemetry was positive at the time."
The Cybertruck had been rented through a car-sharing service, and while the driver’s identity remains undisclosed, the FBI and local police are investigating potential links between the Las Vegas and New Orleans incidents. U.S. President Joe Biden commented, “We’re tracking the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans. Thus far there's nothing to report on that score at this time."
Las Vegas Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill stated, “The question is, is there any links to ISIS? And I will tell you that we don't have any indication of that here in Las Vegas. No overt ISIS flag, as we've seen in New Orleans. But again, we are investigating every aspect of this.”
The explosion occurred just hours after the New Orleans attack, raising concerns about a possible coordinated effort. As investigations continue, the connection between the two events and the underlying motives remain unclear.
