On the first day of the new year, a deadly incident occurred in Las Vegas, USA, where a Tesla  exploded, killing one person and injuring seven others. The explosion took place in front of the Trump International Hotel, which is owned by Donald Trump.

Sheriff Kevin of Las Vegas stated that the electric was parked in front of the hotel’s glass entrance when a massive explosion suddenly occurred. Footage from the scene shows the truck, made of stainless steel, parked in front of the hotel’s door before it exploded. After the blast, one body was found inside the truck, and seven people were reported to have minor injuries.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter) speculating that the explosion might have been caused by excessive fireworks or the presence of a bomb inside the truck. He further stated that Tesla’s expert team had thoroughly investigated the incident and confirmed that they had never encountered anything like this before.

Police are still investigating the cause of the explosion and whether it was a terrorist attack. According to several media reports, including NBC and CBS, authorities are exploring all possible scenarios.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has been informed about the incident, and the White House confirmed that Biden instructed his team to offer full cooperation. The hotel was evacuated for safety after the explosion.

On the same day, in New Orleans, a vehicle drove into a crowd, resulting in at least 15 deaths. However, Sheriff l clarified that there is no connection between this incident and the explosion in Las Vegas.
