? 上周三在拉斯維加斯發(fā)生的特斯拉賽博卡車爆炸事件后,特斯拉首席執(zhí)行官埃隆·馬斯克迅速在社交媒體上發(fā)帖回應,并向有關部門提供信息,此舉贏得了公關專家和執(zhí)法部門的支持。
當一輛特斯拉賽博卡車在拉斯維加斯特朗普國際酒店前爆炸時,特斯拉首席執(zhí)行官埃隆·馬斯克立即采取了行動。
雖然馬斯克可能對公關持懷疑態(tài)度(他幾乎解散了特斯拉及其社交網(wǎng)絡平臺X的公關團隊),但他對上周三賽博卡車爆炸事件的迅速反應贏得了專家的稱贊。
這位特斯拉首席執(zhí)行官一直在社交媒體上堅稱,特斯拉生產(chǎn)的汽車與普通燃油車在起火風險上并無差異,而且對于那些他稱具有誤導性且似乎將爆炸原因歸咎于賽博卡車本身的報道,他迅速予以駁斥。
除了賽博卡車駕駛員外,還有7人在爆炸中受傷,但馬斯克指出,賽博卡車卻展現(xiàn)出了出色的抗爆性能,并補充說,肇事者犯了一個極其嚴重的錯誤。
馬斯克上周三在X上發(fā)帖說:“這些邪惡的笨蛋選錯了實施恐怖襲擊的車輛。賽博卡車實際上成功遏制了爆炸,并引導沖擊波向上釋放。連大廳的玻璃門都沒有被炸碎。”
專門從事危機管理的Goldman McCormick PR公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼管理合伙人瑞安·麥考密克(Ryan McCormick)表示,馬斯克在事件發(fā)生后很快就在X上做出回應,從而有助于引導輿論走向。
麥考密克對《財富》雜志表示:“在這種情況下,迅速采取行動至關重要,因為人們會自行得出自己的結(jié)論,并形成自己的觀點。如果你不回應,他們就會自行得出結(jié)論?!?/p>
從一開始,馬斯克就明確表示,他和他的團隊正在努力獲取更多信息。
他上周三下午在X上發(fā)帖稱:“整個特斯拉高管團隊目前正在調(diào)查此事。一旦有任何新消息,我們會盡快公布。我們從未見過這樣的情況。”

? Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded quickly with social-media posts and gave information to authorities following Wednesday’s Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas, earning him props from PR experts and law enforcement.
When a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, CEO Elon Musk sprung into action.
While Musk may not believe in PR (he practically disbanded the PR teams at both Tesla and his social network, X) his quick response to Wednesday’s Cybertruck explosion has earned him praise from experts.
The Tesla CEO, who has been adamant on social media that his company’s vehicles are no more flammable than the average combustion vehicle, was quick to call out headlines that he said were misleading and seemed to placed blame on the Cybertruck itself for the explosion.
While seven people apart from the Cybertruck’s driver were injured in the explosion, Musk pointed out that the vehicle resisted the explosion well and added that the perpetrator made a big mistake.
“The evil knuckleheads picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack. Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards,” Musk posted on X Wednesday. “Not even the glass doors of the lobby were broken.”
By taking to X to respond soon after the incident occurred, Musk was able to help shape the narrative, said Ryan McCormick, cofounder and managing partner of Goldman McCormick PR, which specializes in crisis management.
“It is so important to act quickly in these situations, because people are coming to their own conclusion, and they are formulating their own opinion,” McCormick told Fortune. “If there’s no response by you, they are coming to their own conclusion.”
From the outset, Musk made it clear he and his team were working to get more information.
“The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now,” he posted on X Wednesday afternoon. “Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this.”
In subsequent posts, Musk kept his audience of more than 200 million followers informed with details of the investigation. Before authorities announced at a press conference that the Cybertruck bed was filled with fuel canisters and fireworks, Musk had already sent out several tweets with detailed information.
“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,” he posted over 90 minutes before the press conference. “All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.”
Less than 15 minutes later, he added: “Law enforcement currently believes it was most likely intentional.” And in less than an hour, Musk declared the incident “appears likely to be an act of terrorism,” and theorized it could be linked with a suspected act of terror in New Orleans earlier the same day.
Authorities have since found several commonalities between the two suspects involved in both the New Orleans attack and the Cybertruck explosion.
Musk’s use of his social media platform X helped him reach a massive audience but it also showed his characteristic brashness when he threatened media outlets with lawsuits for their coverage of the incident, said Kyle Ankney, a 10-year PR pro and cofounder of Wisteria PR.
“When he wasn’t having his, I would say, more egocentric moments, I do think it was beneficial for him to capitalize on the platform,” Ankney told Fortune.
Still, Musk’s aggressive action, and his efforts to aid the investigation by sending footage of the Cybertruck at Tesla charging stations to authorities, earned him props from law enforcement as well.
“I have to thank Elon Musk, specifically,” said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill Wednesday. “He gave us quite a bit of additional information in regards to how—the vehicle was locked after it exploded due to the nature of the force from the explosion as well as being able to capture all of the video from the Tesla charging stations across the country. He sent that directly to us, so I appreciate his help on that.”
