The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in flames outside the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday, killing the driver and injuring seven others. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says the FBI is investigating whether the blast was an act of terrorism. Videos taken by witnesses inside and outside the hotel showed the vehicle exploding and flames pouring out of it, as it sat just outside the hotel. The incident occurred just hours after a man drove a truck into crowds of New Year's Day revelers in New Orleans, killing 15. The Trump hotel in Las Vegas is part of the Trump Organization, the company of president-elect Donald Trump, who will return to the White House on Jan. 20. Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk was a key backer of Mr. Trump in his 2024 presidential campaign and is also an adviser to the incoming president. "Obviously a Cybertruck, the Trump hotel -- there's lots of questions that we have to answer," Sheriff Kevin McMahill told reporters. The FBI has identified the person driving the vehicle, which had been rented in Colorado, but was not yet ready to publicly identify the driver. Mr. Musk claims the blast was unrelated to the Cybertruck itself.
