Well that is awkward for Elmo and Trump's bromance. Apparently someone drove one of those fugly Cybertruck's into the valet area right in front of Trump's Las Vegas hotel tower and it then promptly exploded killing the driver and at least 7 people in the area were injured. Authorities are claiming that it could have been a terrorist attack but let's face it. . . Teslas are constantly catching on fire and exploding on their own for no good reason. Anyone still driving one of those things deserves what they get IMO. Stupid expensive, ugly as hell, and prone to spontaneous combustion. . . but hey Trump likes Elmo so why not waste your money on one? Can't wait to see what Trump has to say about this!

Maybe what I read is wrong, and it could very well be, but I think they said fireworks or a bomb was in the bed of it, and was meant to explode.

I haven't seen any more reporting on it. CNN is focused on New Orleans

He will 1. ignore it, because of his buddy or 2. claim it was terrorism. We are the entangled audiences.

Considering what happened in New Orleans, it could very well have been a terrorist attack.

That's two vehicle incidents. Very tragic. I don't mean to make light of the situation; but I'm surprised the Tesla started.

What I take away from the Las Vegas incident is that Trump and Musk are an explosive combination.
