Tesla Cybertruck Explodes in Front of Trump Hotel, Elon Musk Speaks Out
Elon Musk was quite shocked to hear the news that a Cybertruck had exploded in front of the hotel owned by the newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump. The incident took place on Wednesday, January 1st, local time, resulting in the death of one driver.
One report from Twitter X indicated that the electric truck explosion was caused by either fireworks or a bomb being transported inside. This incident resulted in the driver’s immediate death and injured seven other people. Guests of the hotel located directly across from the incident were evacuated to a safer location.
Elon Musk himself stated that this incident is not related to the truck itself. He also mentioned that the entire senior staff of Tesla is currently investigating the matter. Elon also noted that the Cybertruck is not an ideal target for bombing because its stainless steel body can withstand widespread explosions.
US Police Identify Potential Terror Threat
