Maybe it is time to do so.”

In response to the post about litigation, Musk wrote

There’s about one Tesla fire for every 130 miles traveled,

The level of sophistication is not what we would expect from an individual with this type of military experience,

said Kenny Cooper, a special agent in charge for the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

It’s not lost on us that it’s in front of the Trump building, that it’s a Tesla vehicle, but we don’t have information at this point that definitively tells us or suggests it was because of this particular ideology,

said Spencer Evans, the Las Vegas FBI’s special agent in charge

He was a normal guy,

said Helwig, who said

We’re not aware of any other subjects involved in this particular case,

the sheriff said

All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,

he wrote

Honestly @elonmusk should consider suing outlets who framed the story like this. These headlines are sabotaging @Tesla's brand by making people think it caught on fire,

We have never viewed Tesla simply as a car company ... Instead, we have always viewed Musk and Tesla as a leading disruptive technology global player."

Daniel Ives, a financial analyst at Wedbush Securities, said in a report

The vehicle largely contained the blast, directing it upwards, which limited damage to surrounding structures,

McMahill said

It is with a heavy heart that we confirm that Wednesday's horrific attack in New Orleans and the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas both involved vehicles rented on Turo."

Turo, the car-rental app that was used to rent the Cybertruck, said in a statement shared with Newsweek

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,

Musk wrote

We do not believe that either renter involved in the Las Vegas and New Orleans attacks had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat,

the statement said

This activity is related to the explosion in Las Vegas,

the FBI said on X, declining to provide further details

Eric Trumpson

The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority,

Eric Trump said in a statement

We are absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in New Orleans, as well as other attacks that have been occurring around the world,

McMahill said

Turo claims they do criminal background checks on people who rent the cars, but at the end of the day, it’s fairly easy to get approved,

the businessman said

It’s my biggest fear. It's not worth it. 15 people dead in New Orleans. More hurt in Las Vegas,

he said

That's another coincidence that absolutely, we have to continue to look into,

Las Vegas Metropolitan Sheriff Kevin McMahill said

Obviously a Cybertruck, the Trump hotel - there's lots of questions that we have to answer

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a presser
