(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – Seemingly taking on a new public role, billionaire Elon Musk has received thanks from police after helping the investigation of New Year Day’s Tesla Cybertruck explosion near Las Vegas’s Trump International Hotel.
See the tweet below!
While seven were injured and the driver lost their life, praise was given to Elon Musk.
His swift assistance provided crucial insights into the shocking incident.
The explosion occurred on New Year’s Day, taking everyone by surprise.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police called for immediate investigative actions around the Cybertruck parked directly in front of the Trump Hotel.
The tragic event caused one death and injured seven people in its wake.
Elon Musk received thanks for his cooperation and valuable data concerning the Cybertruck’s condition and prior movements.
Law enforcement officials were able to access footage from Tesla’s charging stations and critical information about the vehicle’s locking mechanism, thanks to Elon Musk.
“I have to thank Elon Musk specifically,” said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, acknowledging Tesla’s cooperation in the investigation.
The Cybertruck’s unique design was pivotal in reducing potential damage.
The explosion’s force was directed upwards, thanks to the vehicle’s specifications, leaving front grounds of the Trump Hotel largely intact.
Despite being parked directly in front, the intact glass doors testify to the vehicle’s resilience.
Reports revealed that the truck’s cargo bed contained volatile components like gasoline and camp fuel canisters, alongside large fireworks.
This initiated the FBI to explore potential terrorism links.
Elon Musk confirmed that the Cybertruck contained the explosion and didn’t contribute to it.
The situation could have been worse if not for the robust build of the Cybertruck.
“We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself,” Musk said in a post on X.
“All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” Musk added, referring to the automaker’s system that collects and transmits data about a vehicle’s performance and status in real time and can monitor mileage and track the distance traveled, among other features.

Such information has raised speculation about whether this incident in Las Vegas shares any connection with a vehicle attack in New Orleans earlier the same day.
Both vehicles being rented through Turo, the car-sharing platform, has added another layer of investigation for authorities.
Despite the tragic nature of this incident, the investigation still benefits from Elon Musk’s transparency and rapid response in escaping any unwarranted blame on the Cybertruck itself.
Musk has stressed that such acts of terrorism should be a focal point for national attention and scrutiny, reinforcing the importance of addressing security threats head-on.
