A Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of President-elect Trump’s Las Vegas hotel on Wednesday. One person was killed and seven others were injured. Officials are still investigating whether it was an act of terrorism — and whether it was connected to the New Orleans attack.
Elon Musk has helped in the investigation: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill praised Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his help in investigating the explosion.
From McMahill: “I have to thank Elon Musk specifically. He gave us quite a bit of additional information in regards to how the vehicle was locked after it exploded,” and tracking where the vehicle came from through Tesla charging stations. (The Hill)
Musk lashed out at the suspect: “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack,” Musk posted on X. “Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”

The Sugar Bowl has been postponed to today: The University of Georgia and University of Notre Dame were scheduled to play the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on Wednesday, but it was pushed to Thursday afternoon. The New Orleans Police Department says the security for today’s game will equate to the Super Bowl.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) told NBC’s Lester Holt that she wishes it was postponed by another day.
Trump blamed the attack on ‘open borders’: President-elect Trump blamed the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border for the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. But keep in mind: The New Orleans suspect was a U.S. citizen from Texas, and the Las Vegas incident was reportedly an Army veteran from Colorado.
Biden mentioned the suspect’s ISIS inspiration: Biden delivered brief remarks from Camp David on Wednesday. “Hours before the attack, [the suspect] posted videos on social media indicating that he was inspired by ISIS, especially a desire to kill,” Biden said.
