(StraightShooterNews.com) – Following the disturbing events in Las Vegas, it has been revealed that the recent explosion has been linked to the devastating New Orleans terror attack.
Both incidents involved vehicles rented through the peer-to-peer car-sharing app Turo, exposing potential loopholes in rental car systems that terrorists may be exploiting.
The Las Vegas incident, which occurred near the Trump International Hotel, tragically claimed one life and injured seven others.
The explosion involved a Tesla Cybertruck, a vehicle that has been hailed as revolutionary by its supporters.
However, this incident has cast a dark shadow over the cutting-edge vehicle and raised questions about its safety.
CEO of Tesla and a vocal advocate for free speech, Elon Musk, suggested that the explosion could have been caused by fireworks or a planted bomb in the Cybertruck’s bed.
This statement has fueled speculation about the incident’s true nature and whether it was a deliberate attack.

The connection between the Las Vegas explosion and the New Orleans attack is deeply troubling. In New Orleans, a Ford F-150 Lightning also rented through Turo, was driven into a crowd, resulting in 15 deaths and 30 injuries.
A Turo spokesperson condemned the incident, stating, “We are heartbroken to learn that one of our host’s vehicles was involved in this awful incident. We are actively partnering with the FBI.”
“We are not currently aware of anything in this guest’s background that would have identified him as a trust and safety threat to us at the time of the reservation,” they continued.
While Turo claimed to maintain “the highest standards in risk management,” these incidents expose glaring weaknesses in their vetting process.
The fact that neither renter had a criminal background that would have flagged them as a security threat is a cold comfort to the victims and their families.
Joe Biden said in a statement that seems to downplay the severity of the situation:
“Investigators are looking into whether the deadly terrorist attack in New Orleans on Wednesday is linked to the detonation of a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas later in the day, but they have yet to find any connection between the two episodes.”
The proximity of the Las Vegas explosion to the Trump International Hotel cannot be ignored.
Although officials have not explicitly stated a connection, the choice of location raised questions about whether this was a targeted attack on the MAGA movement.
The investigations into both incidents are ongoing, and updates are expected.
