After a Cybertruck exploded at Trump Towers, killing one person, Elon Musk made a statement.
In addition to the one fatality, there were other injuries from yesterday’s explosion in Las Vegas.
There is video footage of the car, which was loaded with fuel and explosives, exploding.
In his evening speech, President Joe Biden stated that law enforcement was investigating “whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans” and that the White House was monitoring the situation.
The explosion happened hours after a man carrying an Islamic State flag crashed a truck into a crowd in New Orleans.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made statements in the wake of the X explosion.
Musk wrote, “The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this.”
“Both this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way.”
Although it has not been verified as of this writing, law enforcement is looking into the potential that the two incidents are connected.
As first responders arrived at the scene of the fire, they “realised at the same time that there were multiple persons with injuries located around the vehicle,” according to a statement made by the Deputy Chief of the Clark County Fire Department, where the explosion occurred.
Thomas Touchstone said: “There were multiple people with injuries located around the vehicle. There were 7 [people] with minor injuries, two of which were transported to UMC (University Medical Center).”
“There is one fatality within the Cybertruck.”
Seven individuals were hurt in addition to the death, but they were all only slightly hurt.
The recent relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, the president-elect, makes the attack politically significant.
Musk and fellow billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
After breaking his silence, the world’s richest man has proceeded to tweet about the incident, raising the possibility that he would sue media sites that framed the Tesla explosion.
Both cars were booked via Turo, a car rental firm, as Musk noted.
Turo released a statement saying, “We are heartbroken by the violence perpetrated in New Orleans and Las Vegas, and our prayers are with the victims and families.”
According to police, the community of Las Vegas is not in any danger at this time.
