And then there’s the Tesla explosion in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas
It’s hard to believe that this was an accident – the symbolic associations are so obvious. However, it nevertheless might be an accident:
Police are investigating the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Police said a cybertruck pulled up in front of the hotel on Wednesday near a glass entrance, then smoke started coming from the vehicle and it exploded.
The driver was killed and seven people were injured, police said without naming any of the individuals involved. Officials said all injuries were minor.
ADDENDUM:
“The driver was killed”
“Officials said all injuries were minor.”
I’m guessing the driver might quibble with that.
Seems like an odd time of day (8:41 am New Years Day) if your goal was to inflict massive casualties unless they thought that would damage the building which it did not even come remotely close to doing.
There’s no coincidences.
Griffin,
They needed the truck and the name. When would be a good time to pull up and park where they did.
I’m sure a Cybertruck would burn fiercely, but I don’t know enough about what’s in them to know if they would explode, but maybe the word was just journalistic license.
If there’s anything we should have learned from the 29-yr-old Ph D student who was not set on fire on the subway, because she didn’t exist, it’s wait a bit before believing what you read about breaking news.
When your opponent resorts to obvious moves they are losing, badly.
The fire victim on the subway was just ID’ed as a 57-year-old homeless woman.

Sennacherib,
Well, if your goal is to kill many, many people around New Years I would say like 12-3 am like the New Orleans guy not almost 9 am when most revilers have called it a night as proven by how few people were around the entrance when the truck arrived.
Griffin,
The best time to drive that truck up to that entrance would be early in the morning, no one would notice or care
Now reading that the cybertruck was rented via the same ride-sharing app that was used to rent the NOLA attack pickup.
Also reading that the cybertruck diagnostics all checked out OK prior to the crash and Tesla has confirmed it is not an EV-fire. Apparently high-energy fireworks and camping fuel in the truck’s bed were connected to a detonating device triggered by the driver, who died in the event, which fits with the available video of the explosion.
Normally I would say give it 24-48 hours to sift through the stories, but our media has become so untrustworthy that I no longer do that, as many factual threads are quickly eliminated by the PTB as a matter of routine, to establish narrative control – and realizing that this sounds very tinfoil-hattish, but past events have a way of dictating current trends, as Matt Taibbi and others have found out in this ‘CISA – Twitter files’ era.
Wondering what’s in store for the inauguration: Leftist violence, Muslim violence, both?
Sennacherib,
Maybe if your goal is just to ignite the vehicle but not if you want to kill a bunch of people. Using your logic why didn’t the New Orleans guy wait until 9 am this morning would have been way easier but not as many easy targets to kill.
Obviously neither one of us knows jack and are just speculating, especially about the Vegas incident.
On X, Elon Musk says the Cybertruck’s design contained the explosion and sent it up, not out. Glass in the hotel entry wasn’t even broken. This could have been different with a standard vehicle.
Are any of us really surprised by either the NOLA vehicular terrorism or the attempt to blow up part of the Trump Hotel?
Maybe that it actually happened…but that the likelihood was high given what we know about the shadow-run Biden malAdministration…and folks, I don’t think it’s over yet.
“…Elon Musk says the Cybertruck’s design contained the explosion and sent it up, not out….”
Guess that’s the end of the road for Cybertruck demand by terrorists.
(Given the number of potential customers allowed—i.e., invited in—by “Biden” during “his” benighted “presidency” that could well have become a lucrative niche market for Tesla….)

It’s just been reported that the Cybertruck driver was an army vet who was stationed at Fort Carson at the same time as the Bourbon Street terrorist. Seems like there could be a connection?

A lot of people go through military bases at the same time and don’t become terrorist buddies. Correlation is not causation.
BUT
These days, it’s certainly possible that they knew or influenced each other somehow. 72-hour-rule may need an extension to explore that further.
BUT
How can the FBI be so absolutely, positively, unquestionably certain that they each worked alone, less than a day after the events?
Columbo, Agatha Christie, and NCIS put together don’t work that fast.
