I say we're not jumping to conclusions enough!
Maybe it was a false flag attack, one planned and executed by Musk himself! He contacts one of his most ardent fanboys on X. He tells him that he's arranging a get together for some of his greatest fans in Las Vegas. He says to load your cybertruck up with as many fireworks and gas cans as you can. From there everyone will drive out to the desert, hold a huge bonfire, and set off fireworks. And they will all meet up at the front door of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Musk waits til the mark does this. Once the car's GPS indicates it is in position, Musk simply activates the secret remote self destruct he's built into every cybertruck. It turns out, every one of those is a bomb that Musk can set off at any time through a simple web interface. He just clicks a button, an overload is triggered in the batteries, and the whole thing goes up in flames. The fireworks and gasoline just serve to multiply the blast, provide an explanation for the explosion, and to kill the only witness to Musk's plot.
It turns out he wasn't a terrorist! He was an innocent fool who thought Musk invited to a party. Musk is basically Lex Luthor at this point. Would you really put something like this past him? It's not like he hasn't integrated secret features into cars before. Why not a remote self destruct that can only be activated at the sole discretion of Musk himself?
