The death of the person sitting inside the car
Las Vegas Police Chief Kevin McMahill said that the electric car stopped at the hotel’s glass gate, resulting in a huge explosion and fire. McMahill said one person was found dead inside the E-truck. This is in addition to the injury of seven people. However, no one was seriously injured. He said the hotel was evacuated after the incident. McMahill said there is no indication yet that the Las Vegas bombing is linked to ISIS.
US President Joe Biden said officials were investigating any possible link between the explosion and the attack in New Orleans. He admitted that there is not much that can be said in this regard at the moment. Jeremy Schwartz of the FBI described the explosion outside a Las Vegas hotel as an “isolated incident.” Local police say they are still trying to determine the cause of the explosion.
Musk also made a statement
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the explosion may have been caused by a firecracker or bomb placed behind the rented Cybertruck. He also said in a post on X that it’s not about the car. He also said that the entire large Tesla team is investigating the explosion. Elon Musk is close to newly elected US President Donald Trump. Musk supported Donald Trump in the November elections last year.
