A Cybertruck explosion at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing one and injuring seven, is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism. Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes a bomb or large fireworks caused the blast.
Billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk has revealed that a bomb or very large fireworks caused the explosion outside the front doors of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas . Wednesday's Cybertruck explosion is 'likely an act of terrorism', Musk said, occurring just hours after a terror attack in New Orleans which left 15 people dead.

Perhaps they are linked in some way.' A Cybertruck - made by Trump ally Elon Musk's company Tesla - was seen in a fiery blaze outside the front revolving doors of the Trump International Hotel on Wednesday.

An insider told the network authorities have obtained CCTV footage which shows the Cybertruck passed by the hotel an hour earlier, and circled back to park seconds before the explosion. Musk said 'Tesla vehicles transmit their state of health continuously,' meaning his team were able to check whether anything was wrong with the car's mechanics prior to the explosion.
