Gilbert Arenas Blames Son’s Fiery Crash On Cybertruck Malfunction

Gilbert Arenas, former NBA star, recently went has blamed his son, Alijah Arenas’ fiery crash on a malfunction with Elon Musk‘s Cybertruck. Yes, you heard that right. Arenas believes the electric truck malfunctioning led to his son almost dying in the crash.

Now, we’re not here to point fingers but we got to say, that’s one hot mess. Imagine cruising around in your Cybertruck and next thing you know, it’s on fire. That’s crazy!

During a recent interview with Matt Barnes on “All The Smoke,” Arenas claimed that as his 18-year-old high school basketball phenom offspring was driving his luxury Tesla ride in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley on April 24, his “steering wheel went limp.”

Arenas said as a result, Alijah lost control — and plowed into a fire hydrant, before he barreled into a tree.

The ex-NBA superstar said the vehicle then caught on fire — but his boy wasn’t able to escape, as the windows were bulletproof.

“He couldn’t break a window,” Arenas said.

The former Wizards point guard told Barnes that Alijah ended up being trapped inside the burning car for at least 10 minutes … and he was only able to get out because he had left a crack in the window that good Samaritans were able to use to pull the glass off the car.

Fortunately, Alijah is now doing better after he was hospitalized due to smoke inhalation — and he’s actually getting ready to get back on the basketball court soon.

“You survived this,” Arenas said he told his kid, “because you are a good human.” 

Imagine cruising around in your fancy electric truck and then bam, it bursts into flames. That’s some serious nightmare material right there. Let’s just hope Elon Musk and the Tesla team figure out what really went wrong so we can all feel a bit safer on the road.
