New Video Reportedly Shows The Moment a Cybertruck Exploded Outside Trump Hotel

A new video is going viral online claiming to show the exact moment a Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

While there are not any Community Notes claiming the video to be fake, I have not seen it confirmed to be authentic.

It appears to be security cam footage and I am a bit skeptical that someone with access to that footage would risk posting it online, so I post this with that caveat.

We will update this story when we have more information.

For now, here is the footage:

It looks like fireworks exploded

This was intentional

Some are claiming there was a person inside when the bomb went off, although I do believe the taillights can be controlled by the app and/or the vehicle could have been remotely operated of course since it is a Tesla and it could have Full Self-Driving activated:

This looks like a targeted event. There was a person inside the Cybertruck when the bomb went out (brake lights are on).

We should learn more about this situation soon. This is terrible. https://t.co/kWBSu6hCcy pic.twitter.com/Bn6uhpWRfR

Others claim this is ISIS trying to send a message:

ISIS is clearly trying to send a message to the incoming administration.

Zero chance this exploding Tesla in front of Trump tower was coincidence.

I have not seen any evidence this is connected to ISIS, however we’re only half a day into the new year in 2025 and we seem to already be overwhelmed by bombs, explosions, terrorist attacks and more.

Nick Sortor claims a driver was seen pulling up and never got out, although I cannot see it clearly enough to see if there was a driver or if FSD was possibly used:

🚨 #BREAKING: Driver kiIIed, 7 others injured after Cybertruck EXPLODES outside Trump Tower in Las Vegas

The driver pulled up, stopped right outside the front doors, and remained in the vehicle with their foot on the brake, and detonated explosives.

THIS WAS AN ATTACK.
