Tesla's Deadly Trump Tower Cybertruck Explosion in Vegas Mocked as ‘Perfect Metaphor' for 2025
Benjamin Lindsay
Chaos erupted outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday after a Cybertruck, Tesla’s popular-but-maligned electric pickup truck model, exploded into flames. The New Year’s Day event killed one and injured an additional seven, according to authorities.
While CEO Elon Musk responded Wednesday on X, (“The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now … We’ve never seen anything like this), the tragedy also garnered a fair amount of ridicule and mockery on the social media platform.
Many users expressed that it’s a “perfect metaphor” for what’s in store for 2025 under President-elect Donald Trump and Musk leading his DOGE advisory board.
