One of Elon Musk's famed Cybertrucks blew up Wednesday in front of his bestie's hotel in Las vegas.
The incident happened Wednesday morning and killed the driver of the truck in front of the Trump Hotel.
ABC News reported the Cybertruck had a load of fireworks-style mortars inside and investigators are working to determine a motive and whether the driver intended to set off an explosion and why.
The FBI has now launched a terrorism investigation.
Tesla boss Elon Musk confirmed Wednesday afternoon the explosion was deliberate.
"We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion," Musk said on X.
Seven other people were injured.
CNN said their source says the Cybertruck contained “explosives that included fireworks, gas tanks, and camping fuel” and that “authorities believe that that was connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver.”
