The incident is being looked into as possible terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what sources told ABC News, the FBI is searching and operating in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in connection with the Cybertruck blast. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is also there to help.<\/p>\n<p>A hotel official said that when the driver of the Cybertruck pulled into the valet area, the truck burst. So far, the driver is the only person who has died in the accident. Seven others were injured, according to the police.<\/p>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk helped with the investigation, according to the sheriff. He had the truck opened after it auto-locked in the blast and gave police video of the suspect at charging stations on the way from Colorado to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>McMahon said that detectives were looking into any possible links to the attack in New Orleans earlier Wednesday but had not yet found any. Sources say that the truck used in the attack in New Orleans was also rented through the Turo app.<\/p>\n<p>At the news conference in Las Vegas, a video showed a load of explosives that looked like fireworks, gas cans, and camping fuel containers in the back of the truck.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tie-fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Tesla Cybertruck explodes outside Las Vegas Trump Hotel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NrPUExdaT9w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Musk, a close ally of Trump, said on Wednesday afternoon that the \u201cwhole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill post more information as soon as we learn anything,\u201d Musk wrote on X, which he also owns. \u201cWe\u2019ve never seen anything like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk later posted on X: \u201cWe 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.\u201d It\u2019s not known if Musk\u2019s claim has been independently verified.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-12578241793956198-359\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump\u2019s son Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, posted on social media about the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte coch\u00e8re of Trump Las Vegas,\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority.
