An explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas left one person dead and seven others injured.
The FBI is investigating whether the incident, which sent flames billowing from the vehicle, was a terrorist attack.
Videos captured by bystanders reveal the fiery blast as the Cybertruck sat near the hotel’s entrance.
The explosion came mere hours after a separate truck attack killed 15 people in New Orleans, heightening concerns.
What Caused The Explosion?
Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill acknowledged the high-profile nature of the incident.
“Obviously a Cybertruck, the Trump hotel—there’s lots of questions we have to answer,” he told media.
Tesla’s Elon Musk clarified the vehicle wasn’t to blame.
“The explosion was caused by large fireworks and/or a bomb in the bed of the rented Cybertruck.
All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” Musk said in a post on X.
