Billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk stated that the Cybertruck explosion outside United States President-elect Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel was caused by "very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck."
Musk said in a post on X that the explosion, which killed the driver of the Cybertruck and injured seven others, "is unrelated to the vehicle itself" and that "all vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion."
"Appears likely to be an act of terrorism," he wrote in a follow-up post. "Both this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way," Musk added.
