'Evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle': Cybertruck contained blast at Trump Hotel

Tesla founder Elon Musk has posted on social media platform X to slam the "evil knuckleheads" involved in two separate deadly recent events across the United States.

US authorities are investigating a Cybertruck explosion which occurred outside Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel.

The blast killed one person and injured seven others.

A separate attack saw a man drive through a crowd in New Orleans, leading to the death of at least 15 people.

Mr Musk took to social media to condemn the attacks, while he also commented on the Cybertruck explosion.

"The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards. Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken," the message from Mr Musk read.
