A Tesla cybertruck on Wednesday exploded at the hotel of the United States (US) president-elect, Donald Trump in Las Vegas.
The cybertruck was seen on fire at the entrance of the Trump International Hotel in a viral video on social media.
The hotel has been evacuated after the vehicle was spotted, according to global news media outlet, Al Jazeera.
It is still not clear what led to the fire, or if there were any injuries but the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they are “investigating” and that the fire had been put out.
According to a local news station KSNV News 3 Las Vegas, a vehicle fire was first reported at 8:41AM local time and that police and firefighters were responding.
The news of the fire comes amid numerous reports about Tesla CEO Elon Musk getting closer to Trump.
Musk was said to have spent New Year’s Eve at Mar-a-Lago and sat in during Trump’s dinner with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Musk has also been staying at a cottage on Trump’s Florida property since around Election Day, according to a report from The New York Times.
