The Tesla Cybertruck that caught fire outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas is now being investigated as a possible terror attack. Sources say the vehicle was rented through the same service used by the suspect in the New Orleans incident. Tesla CEO Elon Musk addressed the situation on X, writing, "The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. We’ll post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this."

1. No doubt to me after seeing that video

Right at the front door, no smoke, driver never exits the vehicle.
Throw in the rental app thing and its a done deal IMO

2. Musk Tesla, Trump Hotel ?

Was that a message for those two?

3. This story has me baffled - so little is known other than a Musk product exploded in front of a Trump property.

I mean, sure, sounds like someone sending a message, but what's the message?

5. Trump will be able to fund raise off of it for his next campaign. nt

4. "Tesla Cybertruck that caught fire outside a Trump hotel"

That's pretty ironic.

6. Apparently, the so-called rental service is an app?

The Ford F-150 Lightning truck used in the attack was apparently rented through the Turo app -- a car sharing company, according to Rodrigo Diaz, the owner of the truck. Diaz told ABC News he rented the truck to an individual through the app and is currently talking to the FBI.

Terrorists use apps to rent vehicles which they then use to commit violence/chaos? (Asking for a pattern seeking chimp friend.)

7. Press conf: truck had gas canisters and large mortar-type fireworks in rear bed...

On MSNBC now.

Truck rented in CO, drove to Vegas, drove up to Trump hotel and exploded.
