Elon Musk has confirmed that the explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was not caused by a malfunction in the vehicle itself. Musk explained that the blast was caused by "very large fireworks and/or a bomb" that were transported in the bed of the rented Cybertruck, ruling out any issues with the vehicle’s mechanics. According to Musk, all vehicle telemetry showed positive readings at the time of the explosion.

A deadly explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning has prompted a major investigation by local law enforcement and federal agencies, who are treating the incident as a potential terrorist act. The explosion, which occurred at around 8:40 AM PT, involved a Tesla Cybertruck in the hotel's valet area, leaving one person dead and seven others injured.

The explosion caused massive shockwaves, alarming hotel guests and nearby pedestrians. The sole occupant of the Cybertruck was confirmed dead at the scene, while seven nearby individuals suffered minor injuries and were promptly transported to a hospital for treatment. Authorities, including the FBI, have launched a full investigation into the explosion's cause. Sheriff Kevin McMahill of Las Vegas stated that there was no further immediate threat to the public, although authorities are continuing to search for any secondary devices that could have been involved.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple explosions before seeing thick smoke rising from the vehicle. The surrounding area was immediately secured, and the hotel was evacuated as a precautionary measure. Investigators are examining whether this explosion is linked to recent violent events, including a truck ramming attack in New Orleans that resulted in multiple fatalities.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working to determine the precise cause of the explosion and any potential connections to other incidents.
