The recent incident where a Tesla Cybertruck exploded near the Trump Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada, caused quite controversy regarding both the automobile industry and politics. This is not just premised on a mere accident, or a botched robbery attempt, but maybe political in nature and a sign of worse to come.

First assessments state that a Tesla Cybertruck without a rental from the car-sharing platform Turo was operated by 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger to the valet parking area of Trump Tower. He got out of his truck a few minutes later just in time to see within a short span of time, the entire truck turn into a ball of flames which claimed the life of the driver and seven persons. Even though the cause of the explosion has not been fully determined, Elon Musk has gone to X (formerly known as Twitter) to clarify that fireworks or a bomb placed in the bed of the Cybertruck caused the explosion. For example, mechanical failure is ruled out here; having no mechanical issues, yet, this seems to have been an excellent premeditated act aimed at causing the highest possible damage to property and creating quite an impressive scene.

New York based Trump Organisation has understandably been extremely concerned by this incident, with former president’s son Eric Trump stating his concerns through X. The Las Vegas Sheriff’s department has opened an official probe into the circumstances of the incident by Sheriff Kevin McMahill. This tells me they are serious about this, fearing it could be politically influenced.

One of the most curious facts of this story is the affiliation of Livelsberger with the terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who planned an outrage in New Orleans. Livelsberger also seemed to bear some resemblance to Jabbar, in that he was also a Green Beret and kept a residence on the military base in Colorado Springs. Even if we can’t conclusively say that there is a correlation between the two one must admit that it would be foolish to rule out political or ideological reasons for this attack.

Not surprisingly, social networks have been full of comments regarding the blast. Some folks are just shocked Others have used the situation to bash Elon Musk’s electric car empire. What matters more is loss as the Cybertruck explosion was not an accident but the change remains that the automotive world now is different from what it used to be.

To sum up this story, it also opens up more questions as it deepens and continues. However, one thing remains certain: Of course, this catastrophe is unlikely to remain without influence on Tesla, the company of Trump, and politics in general.

Nowadays, it is important for the police and the community to uncover the possible reasons for the Cybertruck bombing. Although a direct link between Livelsberger and Jabbar is not seen it must be understood that the occurrence of such an incident does not try to bridge the gap of a political divide but instead tries to aggravate the situation by making the nation more polarized. Therefore, cooperation is the key and in order to get the best outcome, preventing danger to the lives of the citizens, all stakeholders have to come to an agreement.

While the people of the world are waiting for new information on the investigation, it is important to recall the lost lives and the influence this event had on the community of Las Vegas, as well as the global one. Despite the fact some might consider the Cybertruck explosion as a very distant plan in a very small planet somewhere in the depths of the cosmos, the reality is that its applications are anything but planetary and have the potential to revolutionize the future society, from cars to politics and even war.

Thus, what has taken place in Las Vegas with the Cybertruck exploding near Trump’s building is an act that does disturb and raises many questions. As the investigation is still in progress, we must not overlook the possible political agenda behind this terror act and start looking for ways to achieve the final goal—protection of the population. Looking to the future, it’s important to always stay informed and recognize the world we live in so that the events of this tragedy are not repeated.
