Following the news that a Tesla Cybertruck was used as a mobile bomb that was detonated outside the Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas on January 1, Elon Musk has spoken out.
According to him, the good thing about the vehicle used is that it is a Cybertruck and not another vehicle.
Musk took to it X social network to show that “Evil knuckleheads chose the wrong vehicle for terrorist attacks.” Musk later said that “the Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.” Musk also stated that the way the blast was directed from an adjacent building meant that “Not even the lobby’s glass door was damaged.”
Details about the explosion are still unclear, but we do know that the vehicle was rented from Colorado and arrived in Las Vegas before the explosion occurred.
It has been confirmed that the explosion was caused by large fireworks and/or bombs that were in the Cybertruck’s bed. The vehicle was not the cause of the explosion, as some initially thought. The explosion is believed to be potentially intentional, although the reason is unclear.

Many people were injured in the explosion while the driver of the Cybertruck was killed. The incident also happened hours after a terrorist attack in New Orleans that left 15 people dead and many others injured.
