In the video below, you can see what appears to be a Cybertruck on fire. The video was taken from inside of the Trump International Hotel. An eyewitness said the truck exploded near the door, forcing them to flee and abandon their bags. You can also clearly hear sirens in the video.

In a statement posted to X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote: "The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now. Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We've never seen anything like this."

Meanwhile, the FBI has released its own statement via NBC. It said it "has personnel on scene to offer assistance to our local partners, who handled the initial response."

Meanwhile, Donald Trump's son Eric Trump also released a statement on social media. He said that "a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas." See his full statement below.

"Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas. The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism."

Additionally, a video going around on social media shows a clearer look at what apparently happened. In the video, you can see a smoking Cybertruck shortly before it exploded. The validity of this video remains unconfirmed, but at first glance it appears legitimate.

Meanwhile, Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Thomas Touchstone also released a statement about the Cybertruck incident. He said they managed to extinguish the fire. He also said they "realized at the same time that there were multiple persons with injuries located around the vehicle."

"The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism," the statement read.

Vacationer Mary Lescano Paguada said that she was at Trump Hotel when she heard the Cybertruck explode. She then heard screaming.
