Elon Musk Responds on Social Media

Tesla CEO Elon Musk broke his silence following the incident, addressing the tragedy on X (formerly Twitter). In his statement, Musk shared, “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.”

Musk further hinted at a potential link between this explosion and another violent act in New Orleans, stating, “Both this Cybertruck and the F-150 suicide bomb in New Orleans were rented from Turo. Perhaps they are linked in some way.”

Connection to New Orleans Attack Under Investigation

Earlier the same day, a man drove a truck into a crowd in New Orleans while displaying an Islamic State flag.

While law enforcement is actively investigating, no confirmation has been made regarding any links between the Las Vegas explosion and the New Orleans attack.

The incident has garnered political attention, as Elon Musk is set to join the President-elect Donald Trump’s administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The connection between Musk and Trump has fueled further scrutiny surrounding the explosion.
