Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said on Wednesday that the Cybertruck and F-150 suicide bomb incidents might be linked and appear to be acts of terrorism. A Tesla Cybertruck carrying what appeared to be fireworks caught fire and exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel, leaving one person dead and injuring seven others, authorities reported. “Appears likely to be an act of terrorism.
Both this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way,” Elon Musk wrote in a post on X. Officials from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Clark County Fire Department said at a news conference that one person died inside the futuristic pickup truck.
Seven people who sustained minor injuries were taken to the hospital for treatment.
