A Tesla Cybertruck exploded just outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday morning, law enforcement authorities have just confirmed. One person is dead inside the Cybertruck, and seven minor injuries have been reported, according to Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill. The FBI is also on the scene; authorities have evacuated the hotel and are looking for secondary devices just in case, but McMahill says there does not appear to be any further threat to our community.At around 8:40AM PT, a 2024 Cybertruck rolled up to the hotel lobby, according to authorities. We saw that smoke started showing from the vehicle and then a large explosion from the truck occurs, McMahill told reporters. Fire crews were on scene within four minutes, and the fire was put out within an hour. A video shared on X shows the truck engulfed in flames just outside the hotels lobby, with the person who captured it saying the Cybertruck blew up. Several additional eyewitnesses reported hearing at least one explosion, and weve embedded more of their videos further down this story.Its still not clear what caused the fire. Right now we just dont have a lot of answers, said FBI special agent Jeremy Schwartz, the acting agent in charge.The news of the fire comes amid numerous reports about Tesla CEO Elon Musk getting closer to President-elect Donald Trump. Musk spent New Years Eve at Mar-a-Lago and reportedly sat in during Trumps dinner with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Musk has also been staying at a cottage on Trumps Florida property since around Election Day, according to a report from The New York Times.It also comes amidst a terror attack in New Orleans, where a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd of people in the French Quarter, killing 10; authorities in Las Vegas cited the incident as one reason theyre carefully checking for possible secondary devices.Still, while authorities say they want Las Vegas residents to stay away from the area, Sheriff McMahill suggested the Vegas incident is probably over: We believe everything is safe now.We havent yet found a video of the vehicle catching fire, but several others on X say they witnessed an explosion and captured videos of the rising smoke. Stephen Felando claimed the windows shook violently on the 53rd floor of the building; Max Radford claimed there were multiple explosions. Ayackle, who captured the lobby video, says the vehicle lowered itself shortly after pulling up to the lobby, then went boom. It started off like colourful fireworks, they wrote on X.I and my husband were literally standing where the luggage is in the footage. I just saw it pulled up, and it lowered itself like a bus, and boom it goes. It first looked like fireworks or something but then I immediately feared our life thinking it could be a bomb and ran, they added.Donald Trump and Elon Musk have yet to make public statements on the incident, but Eric Trump has weighed in: Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochre of Trump Las Vegas. The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism.Update, January 1st: Added new details directly from law enforcement. Correction, January 1st: Jeff Bezos is Amazons founder, but no longer its CEO as we originally wrote.
