Responding to the deliberate detonation of what appears to be rudimentary explosive devices in a Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday, Tesla owner Elon Musk noted that the vehicle effectively contained the brunt of the blast and that the attacker couldn’t have picked a worse vehicle if inflicting maximum damage was the intention.
Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill announed during a press conference, “I also would like you to pay attention to, on that video, as you see that it looks like the exterior of that truck is completely intact as it sits there.”
“The fact that this was a Cybertruck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out,” he added.
The Sheriff further noted that “the front glass doors at the Trump Hotel were not even broken by that blast, which they were parked directly in front of.”
Musk asserted that “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”
