A Tesla Cybertruck crashed into the sign marking the entrance to the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday night, prompting Elon Musk to post about the incident on X, formerly Twitter.
The massive stainless steel monster crashed into the sign around 11:45 p.m. Sunday after being involved in a collision with another vehicle, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department.
“Cyberbeast is faster than a Porsche 911, but it looks like a truck, so maybe the valet wasn't expecting so much acceleration,” Tesla founder Musk joked on X, the social media site he owns.
Musk was responding to a claim that went viral, suggesting that a Beverly Hills Hotel valet crashed the truck, which later turned out to be a prank by an X user.
The Beverly Hills Police Department had no information Monday afternoon about any injuries or damage resulting from the crash.
A video posted online showed the truck suffered significant damage to its left front wheel. The truck also damaged the poles supporting the sign, as well as the pink wall of the sidewalk in front of it, according to images from the scene.
“There were no employees or members of our valet team involved in the accident,” said Brittany Williams, director of communications for Dorchester Collection, which operates the hotel.
