Tesla Cybertruck Explodes in Las Vegas, Killing Driver and Injuring Seven
A Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas early Wednesday, killing the driver and injuring seven others. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, suggested the blast was caused by fireworks or a bomb in the truck bed. Las Vegas police have evacuated nearby hotels and advised residents to stay away from the area.
The incident occurred on the morning of April 12, 2023. The vehicle, a Tesla Cybertruck rented via Turo, was allegedly driven by Matthew Livelsberger, a teenager. Reports link Livelsberger to an AI chatbot in connection with the explosion. This is not the first time a Tesla Cybertruck has been involved in a suspicious incident; Elon Musk hinted at a possible link to a similar attack in New Orleans.
The explosion has led to a significant response from local authorities. The cause of the blast is still under investigation, with Elon Musk's suggestion of fireworks or a bomb in the truck bed being explored. The public is advised to stay informed and follow police guidance.
