Following the news that a Tesla Cybertruck was used as a mobile bomb that was detonated outside the Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas on January 1, Elon Musk has had his say.

According to him, it’s a good thing the vehicle used was a Cybertruck and not another vehicle.

Musk took to the X social network to point out that “The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack.” Musk went on to say that the “Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.” Musk also pointed out that the way the blast was directed away from the adjacent building meant that “Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”

Details surrounding the explosion are still unclear, but we do know that the vehicle was hired from Colorado and arrived in Las Vegas before the explosion took place.

It’s been confirmed that the explosion was caused by large fireworks and/or a bomb that was in the Cybertruck’s bed. The vehicle itself was not the cause of the explosion, as some had originally posited. The explosion is thought to have potentially been caused intentionally, although the reasons are unclear.

A number of people were hurt as a result of the explosion while the Cybertruck’s driver was killed. The incident also took place a matter of hours after a terrorist attack in New Orleans that saw 15 people die and many more injured.
