Ice cubes all start as “clear” as they freeze (assuming clear water ofc), but they get cloudy due to the internal stress since ice cubes freeze from outside to inside. You can even see this yourself if you look at half-finished ice-cubes, as the ice is still (mostly) clear.

Industrial / professional ice cubes are made differently, for example by taking the ice out before it is entirely frozen:
