Police thank Elon Musk for help in investigating Cybertruck attack at Trump Hotel

From LifeSiteNews

A law enforcement official leading the investigation into an attack outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas thanked Elon Musk by name for his help.
Someone exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the hotel on Wednesday morning. Colorado media have named Matthew Livelsberger as a suspect.
“I have to thank Elon Musk specifically,” Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill told the media on Wednesday, citing evidence Musk had sent. He also said the probe is focusing on motives, suggesting that the attack’s use of a Tesla truck outside Donald Trump’s hotel raises questions.
Tesla also unlocked the vehicle for law enforcement.
“Obviously a Cybertruck, the Trump hotel… There’s lots of questions that we have to answer,” McMahill said during a press conference yesterday.
McMahill said Musk sent “video from Tesla charging stations to help with their efforts to track the driver,” as reported by CNN.
The attacker, who has not been named, exploded his car.
“[F]ireworks-style mortars, gasoline cans and camping fuel canisters [were found] in the back of the truck,” according to ABC News.
The specific design of the truck reportedly prevented further damage, according to Sheriff McMahill.
“The fact that this was a Cybertruck really limited the damage that occurred inside of the valet, because it had most of the blast go up through the truck and out,” the sheriff told the media.
Musk confirmed this in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards,” Musk, the CEO of Tesla, wrote on X. “Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”
Federal law enforcement is investigating the Las Vegas explosion and any connection to the terrorist attack that took place in New Orleans on Wednesday.
Early on New Year’s Day, an Army veteran identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, drove a pickup truck with an ISIS flag on it into a crowd and “killed at least 15 people and injured 30 more,” according to NBC News. He died upon being shot by police.
Meanwhile, social media users criticized news outlets for appearing to downplay the Las Vegas attack and implying that the truck exploded on its own accord.
“One dead after Tesla Cybertruck explodes outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas,” read a New York Times headline.
Other headlines said the truck caught fire, again implying an engineering mistake or other malfunction caused it, and not a criminal who was trying to harm human beings.
“The truth is that explosives were placed in the back and intentionally detonated, likely as part of a terrorist act,” DogeDesigner wrote on X. “Don’t fall for the misinformation.”
“It’s January 1, 2025, and many media outlets are already making misleading headlines about [Tesla and Cybertruck] without doing any research,” Maye Musk, Elon’s mom, wrote on X.
“You don’t hate the legacy media enough,” Elon Musk wrote on X.

Liberal MP Paul Chiang Resigns Without Naming the Real Threat—The CCP

Dan Knight
After parroting a Chinese bounty on a Canadian citizen, Chiang exits the race without once mentioning the regime behind it—opting instead to blame “distractions” and Donald Trump.
So Paul Chiang is gone. Stepped aside. Out of the race. And if you’re expecting a moment of reflection, an ounce of honesty, or even the basic decency to acknowledge what this was really about—forget it.
In his carefully scripted resignation statement, Chiang didn’t even mention the Chinese Communist Party. Not once. He echoed a foreign bounty placed on a Canadian citizen—Joe Tay—and he couldn’t even bring himself to name the regime responsible.
Instead, he talked about… Donald Trump. That’s right. He dragged Trump into a resignation about repeating CCP bounty threats. The guy who effectively told Canadians, “If you deliver a Conservative to the Chinese consulate, you can collect a reward,” now wants us to believe the real threat is Trump?
I haven’t seen Donald Trump put bounties on Canadian citizens. But Beijing has. And Chiang parroted it like a good little foot soldier—and then blamed someone who lives 2,000 miles away.
But here’s the part you can’t miss: Mark Carney let him stay.
Let’s not forget, Carney called Chiang’s comments “deeply offensive” and a “lapse in judgment”—and then said he was staying on as the candidate. It wasn’t until the outrage hit boiling point, the headlines stacked up, and groups like Hong Kong Watch got the RCMP involved, that Chiang bailed. Not because Carney made a decision—because the optics got too toxic.
And where is Carney now? Still refusing to disclose his financial assets. Still dodging questions about that $250 million loan from the Bank of China to the firm he chaired. Still giving sanctimonious speeches about “protecting democracy” while his own caucus parrots authoritarian propaganda.
If you think Chiang’s resignation fixes the problem, you’re missing the real issue. Because Chiang was just the symptom.
Carney is the disease.
He covered for it. He excused it. He enabled it. And now he wants to pose as the man who will stand up to foreign interference?
He can’t even stand up to it in his own party.
So no, we’re not letting this go. Chiang may be gone—but the stench is still in the room. And it’s wearing a tailored suit, smiling for the cameras, and calling itself “leader of the Liberal Party.”

RCMP Confirms It Is ‘Looking Into’ Alleged Foreign Threat Following Liberal Candidate Paul Chiang Comments

The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement after The Bureau revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiang’s reported remarks.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed late Monday it is actively reviewing the controversy surrounding Liberal MP Paul Chiang’s alleged remarks that appeared to endorse delivering a political rival to a foreign government in exchange for a bounty.
In a statement sent to The Bureau, the RCMP said: “Foreign actor interference, including instances of transnational repression, continues to be a pervasive threat in Canada. The RCMP takes all such reports and allegations seriously and — in close partnership with intelligence, law enforcement and regulatory agencies — dedicates significant resources to combatting and investigating criminal activity related to foreign interference in Canada’s democratic processes.”
“The RCMP is looking into the matter,” the statement continued, “however no specific details can be provided at this time.”
The confirmation followed a day of escalating pressure on Canadian law enforcement after The Bureau revealed that the UK-based human rights organization Hong Kong Watch sent a formal letter to RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme, calling for a criminal investigation into Chiang’s reported remarks. The comments, made during a January meeting with Chinese-language journalists, suggested that Conservative candidate Joe Tay could be brought to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto to claim a bounty placed on him by the Hong Kong police under Beijing’s National Security Law.
The organization alleged the remarks could constitute “counselling to commit kidnapping” under Canada’s Criminal Code. In their letter, Hong Kong Watch also referenced the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act, which prohibits attempts to coerce or intimidate individuals for the benefit of a foreign state.
While the RCMP’s statement did not confirm the launch of a formal investigation, it emphasized that if “criminal or illegal activities occurring in Canada [are] found to be backed by a foreign state, it is within the RCMP’s mandate to investigate this activity.”
The RCMP said it does not typically disclose information related to ongoing investigations unless charges are laid. Nor will it confirm which individuals may be under protective watch.
Earlier Monday, Tay confirmed that he contacted the RCMP over concerns for his personal safety even before Chiang’s comments became public. Chiang, a former police officer and Liberal candidate in Markham–Unionville, has apologized for the remarks, calling them a “terrible lapse in judgment.”
Meanwhile, more than 40 Hong Kong diaspora organizations based in Canada and abroad issued a joint statement condemning Chiang’s remarks and calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to remove him as a candidate. Carney told reporters in Toronto that Chiang still has his “confidence,” and described the incident as a “teachable moment.”
The RCMP said its “overarching priority is the safety and security of the public,” and encouraged anyone who feels threatened online or in person to report such incidents to their local police. In cases of immediate danger, individuals are urged to call 911.
The statement also pointed to the existence of protective mechanisms for election candidates, including through Elections Canada and the federal government.
