Terror probe launched as Tesla Cybertruck EXPLODES outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, killing driver

A Cybertruck that exploded outside the front doors of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday is being investigated as an act of terrorism. 

A car – made by Trump ally Elon Musk‘s company Tesla – was seen in a fiery blaze outside the front revolving doors of the hotel, social media video showed, killing one and injuring seven around 9am, according to Las Vegas police. 

Sheriff Kevin McMahill said police are treating the explosion as an act of terror, alongside the New Orleans event, which saw a driver kill 15 pedestrians. 

‘With the event that occurred [in New Orleans], and the victims there, and the additional IEDs, so as you can imagine, with an explosion here on our iconic Las Vegas Boulevard, we are taking all of the precautions that we need to take to keep the community safe.’ 

The FBI is also investigating the Vegas event. Elon Musk also said his company is looking into the matter, writing on X: ‘The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now.

‘We’ve never seen anything like this,’ the billionaire wrote.  

The official cause of the explosion and fire is currently unknown, but an unidentified official briefed on the incident told ABC News it had a load of fireworks-style mortars inside the vehicle. 

Police are working to determine if the driver, who died, intentionally set off the explosives.

Woke Wikipedia Spends a Fortune on DEI Policies – Elon Musk Urges People to Stop Giving Them Money

Now it has been revealed that as a company, Wikipedia spends a massive amount of cash on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which is no surprise at all.

This just confirms what conservatives have been saying about the online encyclopedia all along.

Elon Musk’s AfD Endorsement Triggers EU Push for Stricter Censorship Under Digital Services Act

Elon Musk’s endorsement of Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has sparked significant controversy, particularly among European political figures concerned about the potential for what they call “foreign interference” in Germany’s upcoming elections.

Musk, the CEO of X, voiced his support for some of AfD’s policies following a deadly terror attack in Germany. His comments have raised alarm among EU officials, prompting calls for increased scrutiny of the X app and its compliance with the EU’s stringent censorship laws.

Thierry Breton, the European Union’s former Commissioner, took to X to express his outrage over Musk’s support for AfD. In a tweet posted on December 21, Breton accused Musk of being involved in “foreign interference” in Germany’s electoral process, especially given the timing of his comments around the tragic attack in Magdeburg.

Breton, who has been an advocate for strict censorship of social media platforms, and even threatened Elon Musk for over his interview with President Donald Trump, also called for the immediate application of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) to combat what he described as “double standards” when it comes to regulating speech online.

The View Suggests Elon Musk And JD Vance Are Plotting To KILL Trump

The level of batshittery on The View just got ratcheted up several more notches as the cackling witches suggested that Elon Musk is conspiring with JD Vance to get rid of Trump.

Host Whoopi Goldberg ranted “Who is in charge? Because I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that I think Elon Musk believes he’s President. I do.”

“Well, you can call him Vice President,” Joy Behar interjected, prompting Goldberg to continue ranting “I’ve called him Vice President. I called him President because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever said. I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”

They’re not even in office yet. What is he supposed to be doing?

“He’s planning the presidency when he got to get rid of Trump,” Behar claimed out of nowhere.

“So you think it’s Musk, Vance?” Goldberg asked her, to which she responded “Possible.”

Goldberg then offered some advice to Trump, “Stay away from the stairways. People put their leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out.”

Elon Musk & SpaceX Are Helping US Intelligence Build The World’s Largest Spy Satellite Network

On Monday, former Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul told his audience on Twitter/X that due to an “internet outage in our area” he would not broadcast his daily live broadcast, The Ron Paul Liberty Report.

Elon Musk, the executive chairman and chief technology officer of Twitter, responded to Paul, stating, “You should get Starlink”. Finally, Paul asked, “That sounds like a great idea! How much does it cost?”

Starlink is what is known as a satellite internet constellation which is operated by Starlink Services, an international telecommunications company that is wholly owned by Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX. Starlink satellites were first launched by SpaceX in 2019, and now reportedly provide internet access to people in more than 100 countries. They have become increasingly popular because of their ease of setup and relatively low cost.

The most recent numbers on Starlink satellites say the satellite constellation consists of more than 7,000 small satellites in low Earth orbit. SpaceX has plans for 12,000 satellites over the coming years. Starlink is said to have more than 4 million worldwide subscribers.

Ron Paul obviously knew what Starlink was, and he might even be aware that Starlink has been a vital part of SpaceX’s success. However, what Ron Paul and most of the general public might not know is that SpaceX has become a key partner of the U.S. military and intelligence apparatus, and is helping them build a massive surveillance grid.

Elon Musk Delivers Harrowing News to ‘Treasonous’ Liar and Leaker Alexander Vindman After He Seemingly Accuses Musk of Selling State Secrets to Putin

Ukrainian-born Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (US Army Ret.) may be about to pay the ultimate price for his crimes against America if the world’s richest man has any say.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Vindman was a crucial figure in the first impeachment of President Trump over his “perfect” phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019. But he was caught repeatedly lying during his testimony before Congress, which made him a leftist hero.

The truth is that Vindman was a leaker who thought his opinions overruled the Trump administration. He was moved from the White House with his twin brother (who was unfortunately elected to Congress this month) after his unsuccessful attempt, along with Eric Ciaramella, to remove the sitting president from office.

Even Vindman’s boss testified that he was a leaker and a liar who could not be trusted.

Vindman has now made things worse for himself after hurling a disgusting smear toward X owner and DOGE co-chairman Elon Musk in a late October MSNBC interview uncovered by X users on Wednesday.

In the interview, Vindman said Russian President Vladimir Putin is using Musk to do his bidding. This includes Musk potentially selling state secrets to Russia.

“Clearly, Putin has a type. He likes narcissists and egomaniacs that he knows as a case officer can easily pander to manipulate, to do his dirty work,” Vindman said. “Russia has been using different levers — whether that’s corruption networks, in this case, its influencers like Donald Trump, like Elon Musk, to kind of sow discord.”

“It’s possible that some of that is seeping through,” Vindman added. “He’s (Putin) been using the richest man in the world to do his bidding. In some cases, that’s encouraging him probably to support Donald Trump.

“That’s not speculation. We see how far Elon has gone. And then using Twitter as a disinformation platform.”

Elon Musk Responds As British Government “Summons” Him To ‘Disinformation’ Hearing

X owner Elon Musk has fired back at the news that British MPs will “summon” him to their parliament to address allegations of spreading ‘disinformation’.

GB News reports that “An inquiry in the House of Commons is meaning to investigate the rise of ‘harmful’ AI content online by calling tech heavyweights to probe the ‘spread of content that can mislead and harm.’”

The report adds that “Labour’s select committee chairwoman, MP Chi Onwurah has called on the Tesla and SpaceX owner to explain his alleged ‘promotion of pure disinformation.’”

Musk responded in typical fashion on X, writing that British MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens.’”

Elon Musk’s X Corp. Intervenes in Bankruptcy Case of Alex Jones’ Infowars with Surprise Filing

Attorneys for X Corp., the Elon Musk-founded firm that took over Twitter and rebranded it as X, have filed a notice of appearance in the bankruptcy case of Alex Jones and his Infowars platform.

On Thursday, The Onion purchased InfoWars at auction and plans to transform it into a satirical take on the iconic brand.

NBC News reported, “The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.”

On the same day, a federal bankruptcy judge in Texas ordered an evidentiary hearing to scrutinize the transparency of the auction process.

Jones, in a video posted to X on Thursday, accused Connecticut Democrats and The Onion of orchestrating a backdoor deal to claim the platform. “They said, ‘It was competitive,’” Jones said.

“They changed all the bidding rules and made it secret two days ago. I had a bad feeling about this.”

Elon Wins Again: Advertisers Who Boycotted X Have Returned

Remember when major companies including Disney pulled their advertising from X after Elon Musk took over, and then Elon told them to go fuck themselves?

Well, they’ve come crawling back.

Musk is suing Soros funded rabid leftist organisation Media Matters for suggesting that the ads were appearing next to “hate speech.”

In the meantime it appears that the huge companies involved have finally realised that shutting off their reach to half the planet on the world’s biggest platform isn’t the smartest of ideas.
