A Tesla Cybertruck that exploded in front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday morning was reportedly an intentional detonation, which comes after federal law enforcement officials confirmed an attack that unfolded in New Orleans earlier in the day was an Islamic terrorist attack. NBC News correspondent Tom Winter said that the investigation into the Cybertruck explosion “shows it was intentional and the incident is now being looked at as a possible terror attack,” according to multiple senior law enforcement officials. NBC News: The investigation into the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside of Trump’s Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas shows it was intentional and the incident is now being looked at as a possible terror attack, three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter tell… — Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter) January 1, 2025 Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on X: “We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.” “All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion,” he said. Musk later added that the incident “appears likely to be an act of terrorism.” Musk noted that the Cybertruck was rented through Turo, an online company that allows people to rent out their vehicles to other people. It is the same company from which the truck that was used in the New Orleans terror attack was rented, according to the New York Post. “Perhaps they are linked in some way,” Musk said. The driver of the Cybertruck pulled up next to the building and moments later, the truck exploded. The driver was killed and seven people who were near the vehicle were injured.

Authorities have identified the now-deceased suspect in the New Year's Day New Orleans massacre as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas. The FBI has also indicated that they do not believe Jabbar was acting "solely alone" and are pursuing leads into Jabbar's friends and associates currently. Jabbar reportedly served in the Army on active duty from 2007 through 2015 and then in the reserves from 2015 through 2020. He was reportedly a human resources and information technology specialist who deployed once to Afghanistan from February 2009 through January 2010. Officials are still piecing together information about the attack, but they indicated that they found a series of recordings made by Jabbar that were apparently made while he was driving from his home in Texas to Louisiana, where he committed his heinous crimes. In the videos, Jabbar reportedly talked about his decision to join ISIS and apparently referenced several dreams he had that led him to align with the infamous terror group. Earlier in the day Wednesday, FBI officials confirmed that Jabbar had an ISIS flag on him at the time of the attack. Although the FBI has now confirmed that this is being investigated as an act of terrorism, the first public statement made by the FBI mysteriously and flatly stated that this was "not a terrorist event."According to divorce documents obtained by CNN, Jabbar had been working as a real estate agent and claimed in 2022 to be suffering from severe financial troubles, including a potential imminent house foreclosure. Meanwhile, the death toll from the attack has now risen to 15, according to the New Orleans Coroner's office. It was not immediately clear if the change in the death toll was due to inaccurate initial information, or whether additional people had succumbed to injuries throughout the day. In a statement, president-elect Donald Trump promised that the incoming Trump administration will support the city of New Orleans, saying that "our hearts are with all of the innocent victims and their loved ones, including the brave officers of the New Orleans Police Department." Outgoing President Joe Biden is also expected to address the nation Wednesday night regarding the terror attack.

iPhone 16 or 16 Plus owners might not like all these iPhone 17 rumors claiming the base iPhone 17 model and the iPhone 17 Air will support 120Hz refresh rate (ProMotion). It's the one feature so many people want from Apple's cheaper iPhones, one that buyers have been waiting for years. Some of them buy the iPhone Pro or Pro Max phones solely for ProMotion. They might think Apple keeps ProMotion exclusive to the more expensive models to make more money. Nobody would blame them considering that many mid-range Android phones feature displays that support 90Hz refresh rates or the full 120Hz. But the real reason Apple hasn't brought ProMotion to the non-Pro iPhone 16 models but plans to do it with the non-Pro iPhone 17 versions isn't just about upselling the Pros. It's also about something not all iPhone buyers think about: Apple's complex supply chain and the availability of screen supply that matches its massive needs. Continue reading...
