One person died and seven more were injured on Wednesday when a Tesla truck caught fire and exploded outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, authorities said.

Las Vegas metropolitan police and Clark county fire department officials in Nevada said at a news conference that a person died inside the vehicle and that they were working to get the body out.

Another seven people nearby received minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Elon Musk, the tech industry leader who owns Tesla, posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter before he bought it, saying that “the whole Tesla senior team” was investigating what happened.

He said the team would “post more information as soon as we learn anything”, adding that “we’ve never seen anything like this.” His remarks included another post referring to a “detonation” when the car exploded.

How could an Elon Muskmobile possibly catch fire? There's a real head scratcher! Thank Sky Daddy he's got the whole team looking for some other problem that has nothing to do with the fact that those fucking batteries have a habit of overheating and then catching fire...

It was a suicide.

Did I miss that in the story you linked to or ... what? Seems clear he was trying to blow something and/or someone up but suicide implies he was the only one he wanted to kill. Now, if we want to call it a suicide bombing, then I'd say that fits the facts better. But unless he left a note I rather doubt we'll ever know what was in his mind except fireworks and propane canister bits.
