Link: One dead, seven injured as Cybertruck explodes outside Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas

A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, resulting in one fatality and seven minor injuries. Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill confirmed the details, noting the presence of the FBI and immediate evacuation of the area.

Authorities responded quickly, extinguishing the fire within an hour of the explosion, which occurred around 8:40 AM PT. According to Sheriff McMahill, there does not appear to be any further threat to the community.

The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, with details about the deceased inside the Cybertruck yet to be disclosed. Las Vegas authorities are meticulously checking for secondary devices, influenced by a recent terror attack in New Orleans.

Amid the investigation, a connection emerges as Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been reported to have close interactions with President-elect Donald Trump. Both figures have yet to comment on the incident, though Eric Trump expressed gratitude for the swift response of emergency services.

Ayackle, an eyewitness, captured the vehicle on video just before the explosion, describing it as initially resembling "colorful fireworks." Another observer noted several explosions, adding to the chaos outside the hotel lobby.

As Las Vegas law enforcement continues their investigation, they urge locals to avoid the area but are optimistic that the threat is contained. Responses from both Tesla and Trump's teams are anticipated as more details emerge. #
