In the wake of the tragic Tesla Cybertruck explosion at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly addressed and dismissed circulating theories suggesting that the vehicle’s driver was already deceased prior to the incident and that the Cybertruck autonomously navigated to the explosion site.

The explosion resulted in the death of the driver, identified as 37-year-old Army veteran Matthew Livelsberger from Colorado, and caused injuries to seven bystanders.
