Las Vegas, NV – A Tesla Cybertruck emerged relatively unscathed after an explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday, prompting CEO Elon Musk to threaten legal action against media outlets he believes are spreading misinformation about the vehicle’s safety.
The incident occurred when an active-duty Army Special Forces soldier, identified as Matthew Livelsberger, detonated an explosive device inside the Cybertruck. Livelsberger died before the explosion, according to authorities.
“These evil idiots chose the wrong vehicle to carry out a terrorist attack,” Musk wrote on X,formerly known as Twitter,sharing a video of a police press conference. “The Cybertruck actually absorbed the impact of the blast and carried it upwards. The glass doors in the lobby were not even broken.”
Sergeant Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the explosion “did not have the effect he (referring to the suspect) initially expected,” and that the Cybertruck largely contained the damage to the hotel lobby.
Despite the incident, conservative activist Robbie Starbuck took to X, claiming the Cybertruck was prone to spontaneous combustion, stating it would “spontaneously combust every 130 million miles, while other vehicles catch fire every 18 million miles.”
Musk responded with a terse,”Maybe it’s time to do that,” seemingly hinting at potential legal action against Starbuck and other media outlets spreading similar claims.
photos and videos from the scene show the Cybertruck, though visibly damaged, remained largely intact. The incident has reignited debate surrounding the Cybertruck’s safety and durability, with Musk using the event to highlight the vehicle’s resilience.

“It’s crazy! This guy, apparently an Army soldier, tried to blow himself up with a bomb inside a Tesla Cybertruck,” said Mark, a Las Vegas resident who witnessed the aftermath of the explosion.
“The truck took moast of the blast.it was pretty damaged, but the craziest thing is that it didn’t explode itself,” he added.
Mark described the scene as surreal, with the Cybertruck absorbing the brunt of the explosion and protecting the hotel lobby from notable damage.
“The police are saying the truck absorbed most of the impact. They showed a video on the news where the glass doors in the hotel lobby weren’t even broken,” Mark explained.
The incident has sparked conversations about the Cybertruck’s safety features and its ability to withstand extreme conditions.
“Elon Musk was all over Twitter bragging about it, calling them ‘evil idiots’ for choosing the wrong vehicle,” Mark said. “He even said something about legal action against media outlets spreading misinformation about the truck’s safety.”
The explosion has undoubtedly brought the Cybertruck into the spotlight, raising questions about its durability and safety while simultaneously fueling debate about the spread of misinformation online.
