Las Vegas police say Cybertruck that exploded at Trump hotel had fuel containers, large firework mortars

Authorities revealed that a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, resulting in the death of one individual and injuries to seven others. The vehicle was found to contain containers of gasoline and camp fuel, as well as large firework mortars, according to reports.

During a press briefing, Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill stated that they have identified the person who rented the Cybertruck, obtained from Colorado. However, they are refraining from disclosing the individual’s identity until they are absolutely certain.

Furthermore, McMahill mentioned that the investigators were able to track the truck’s movements through Tesla charging stations. The vehicle was initially flagged by license plate readers in Las Vegas around 7:30 a.m. It was observed traveling along Las Vegas Boulevard before eventually arriving at the valet area of the Trump hotel.

Within 15-20 seconds of pulling up to the hotel, the sheriff added, the vehicle exploded.

The billionaire kept followers up to date about the Cybertruck explosion on his social media platform X.

“We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” Musk wrote in one post.

“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards,” he said in another post. “Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”

President Biden also weighed in on the Las Vegas explosion.

“We’re tracking the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas,” he said while speaking about the fatal crash in New Orleans. “Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans. Thus far, there’s nothing to report on that score at this time.”
