Thirty minutes ago, a California highway exploded in horror as Elon Musk’s self-driving Tesla Roadster lost control, crashed into the median and exploded violently. Traffic police confirmed that the founder of Tesla and SpaceX was trapped in the burning cabin, helpless against the red flames that engulfed everything. The loud explosion shook the entire area, debris flew everywhere, black smoke billowed hundreds of meters high, obscuring the blue sky. People nearby only had time to scream in horror before running away, while a crowd of fans gathered on the side of the road, crying and praying.
Witnesses recounted the haunting moment. A woman panicked and trembled: “I saw the car shaking and suddenly going straight, no one had time to react. Just a few seconds later, flames erupted, the sound of glass breaking, the sound of metal twisting like hell. I couldn’t believe it was Elon Musk.” The paparazzi nearby immediately raised their cameras, flashing continuously through the smoke, capturing the chaotic moment: fans covering their faces and crying, police blocking the road, fire trucks with sirens rushing in.
As the paramedics approached, the scene became more dire. The ambulance team rushed in with oxygen tanks and stretchers, trying to break open the deformed car door. A firefighter shouted: “The temperature is too high, we can’t get to it right away!” But they finally pulled Elon Musk out of the blackened compartment, his body covered in smoke and blood. CPR began right in the middle of the freeway: chest compressions, artificial respiration, oxygen masks pressed tightly. The ambulance blared its siren, rushing at full speed, dozens of police clearing the way as fans crowded both sides.
At the Los Angeles hospital, the emergency room exploded in an emergency scene. Elon Musk was taken straight to the ICU, the monitor flashing continuously, the red alarm line sounded repeatedly. Doctors shocked him over and over again, the defibrillator blared. A nurse burst into tears on duty, while her colleagues tried to stay calm. “We did everything,” a doctor whispered, “but the damage was too severe.” The cold white light of the ICU shone brightly all night, reflecting off the pale faces of the medical team.
The bad news spread around the world in minutes. Elon Musk’s family was escorted to the hospital, their faces haggard and collapsed. Colleagues at Tesla, SpaceX, and X.com burst into tears, many in disbelief. American politicians, from the President to the Governor of California, sent condolences, calling Musk “an icon who changed humanity.” On social media, tens of millions of hashtags exploded in just one hour: #PrayForElon, #GoodbyeMusk, #TeslaForever. Images of fans crying under the night sky, holding white candles trembling, spread like wildfire.
The climax came when the doctor officially stepped forward to the media at dawn: “We regret to confirm that Elon Musk has passed away after a serious car accident. He passed away at 11:47 p.m., in the arms of the medical team, despite all efforts.” The announcement caused the crowd outside the hospital to cry, many people collapsed on the sidewalk.
The grief spread around the world. In New York, a sea of people gathered in Times Square, lighting candles and holding up portraits of Elon Musk. In Tokyo, Tesla fans lined up in front of the showroom, leaving white flowers and handwritten letters. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower suddenly turned off its lights for 10 minutes of silence. In California, the freeway where the accident occurred turned into a makeshift memorial: thousands of bouquets of flowers, wooden-framed photos of Musk, candles burning all night.
Police continue to investigate the cause. Preliminary reports said the self-driving system had a software problem, causing the car to accelerate suddenly. However, another hypothesis emerged: was this a sabotage plot? Rumors spread, the online community was in an uproar, calling for an expanded investigation. The tragedy seemed to not stop at an accident, but also opened a series of dark suspicions.
In the end, the United States prepared for an unprecedented national funeral for a businessman. The White House planned to fly flags at half-mast nationwide, while millions of fans around the world made plans to organize an “Elon Musk candle sea” this weekend. His dream of humanity conquering the universe has now ended in a sea of fire on a highway, leaving an irreplaceable void.
