A Cybertruck has “exploded” outside the golden Trump Tower in Las Vegas.
Details are still unfolding but many believe the explosion may be an intentional message targeted quite clearly at President Trump (Trump Tower) and Elon Musk (Cybertruck), although that remains to be confirmed.
The explosion happened perfectly outside the main doors and send smoke flying for miles.

A video shared by @kaaaassuu shows the truck engulfed in flames. People in neighboring hotels reported a loud explosion before seeing smoke.
