Fatal explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump hotel: investigation underway into a possible act of terrorism
A powerful explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday killed one person and injured seven others. The incident, involving a Tesla Cybertruck, raises many questions and is the subject of an in-depth investigation by the FBI.
A drama in the city
Videos and images of the explosion, widely distributed on social networks, show the extent of the damage and the fright of witnesses. Trump Organization Executive Vice President Eric Trump assured that the safety of customers and staff remains a top priority. In a press release published on the X platform, he expressed his gratitude to the firefighters and the police for their rapid intervention.
Las Vegas police confirmed the fire had been brought under control, but asked the public to avoid the area due to ongoing investigations. The authorities are currently favoring the possibility of an intentional, possibly terrorist act.
A possible connection with the attack on New Orleans
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, reacted by raising a potential link between this incident and the attack that occurred the same day in New Orleans, where 15 people, including two Israelis, were killed in an explosion involving another vehicle, a Ford F-150. Musk mentioned that both vehicles were rented through Turo, a peer-to-peer car rental platform.
In a message on . “The Cybertruck's telemetry data was normal at the time of the explosion,” he added.
A complex investigation
Las Vegas law enforcement, along with the FBI, is treating the incident as an intentional act, possibly linked to a terrorist attack. If the hypotheses of connection between the two events remain to be confirmed, the simultaneity of the explosions and the use of heavy utility vehicles raise concerns about a possible coordinated modus operandi.
Consequences and increased vigilance
This incident, which occurred in front of an emblematic symbol, raises concerns about the security of public places and the potential misuse of vehicles for criminal purposes.
