The Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has reportedly been evacuated after a Cybertruck exploded outside the front doors. 

A Cybertruck - made by Trump croonie Elon Musk's company Tesla - was seen in a fiery blaze outside the front revolving doors of the hotel, social media video showed. 

Large orange flames were seen crawling out the windows of the Cybertruck before several explosive sounds can be heard. The top of the car appears to blow afterward  

Fire alarms were heard going off in the building. It is unclear if hotel guests have been evacuated. 

It is unclear if anyone was injured. The fire has been put out, according to police

The explosion left a large cloud of smoke billowing from the Trump Hotel on Fashion Show Drive around 9am on Wednesday. 

Firefighters responded to a vehicle fire near the hotel, according to News 3 Las Vegas. 

A man named Stephen Felando, who is staying at the hotel, claimed a 'massive explosion' happened. 

'Something major just exploded here,' he said in an X video. 'Something just went off in the valet section...I don't know what just did, but something just blew.' 

Felando said the windows 'shimmed' and shook. 

DailyMail.com attempted to contact the Las Vegas Police Department.

Likely a deranged global warming nut, disappointed about paying all that money for an electric truck sold to him by somebody who thinks global warming is a hoax.

Starting the new year with a BANG, BOOM, and Flames!
Joe’s illegal alien pet(s?) were busy in New Orleans too.
Hang on, it’s going to be an exciting and dangerous year.

I guess if you hate Musk as well, what better vehicle to blow up.

Sonetimes an EV vehicle fire is just an EV vehicle fire. I believe another Cybertruck fire occurred yesterday or the day before.

Maybe Musk should have used less H1B engineers.

“Large orange flames??”

Normal vehicle fire. Seen at least 200 in my life as a wrecker business owner.

I going to wager this was an electrical fire that started first, then the individual battery cells started to explode, then the whole battery pack assembly finally blew.

That is exactly how EV fires progress.

Oh well, at least that Ford-F150 lightning in the terrorist attack in New Orleans didn’t blow up.

Because Americans arecretarded right, Elon?

Yep, from the description it was just the normal EV fire progressing as they do.

There’s no way that this was coincidence. It was staged.

I believe some EVs may start on fire, but not blow up. If so, it must have been a bomb. 😳

The public uses “blow up” and “explosion” for any kind of sudden fire. If there had been even a small amount of high explosive involved the lobby of the Trump Tower would be gone.

Well, now I know.

Just seemed to much to be a coincidence.

Musk and Rummyswammy get taken to the wood shed for mouthing off about the H1B and dissing MAGA people then this happens. Odd? Sort of /s
