A tragic incident unfolded today at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in the valet area, resulting in one fatality and seven injuries. The explosion, which occurred around 8:40 a.m., is currently under investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI as a potential act of terrorism.

Eyewitnesses reported that the Cybertruck pulled into the hotel’s entrance, emitted smoke, and then exploded, causing significant damage and panic among guests and staff. The deceased individual was found inside the vehicle, while the injured were treated for minor injuries.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, expressed his shock on social media, stating that his team is investigating the cause of the explosion. The incident coincides with Musk’s recent appointment to co-chair the Department of Government Efficiency in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Authorities have not yet determined whether the explosion was accidental or deliberate. Given the recent suspected terrorist attack in New Orleans, security measures have been heightened nationwide. Eric Trump, son of President-elect Trump, thanked emergency services for their swift response and emphasized the priority of guest and staff safety.

As the investigation continues, the public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to local law enforcement.
