Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger’s wife broke up with him days before explosion outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas: sources
NY Post ^ | 1/02/25 | Joe Marino, Allie Griffin

The wife of the Army soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday broke up with him six days before he killed himself inside the vehicle, according to law enforcement sources.

Matthew Livelsberger, 37, left his Colorado Springs home the day after Christmas following an argument with his wife over apparent infidelity, two sources familiar with the investigation told The Post.

His wife — who had a baby daughter with Livelsberger — reportedly told him that she knew he had been cheating, the sources said.

After leaving Colorado, Livelsberger rented a Cybertruck through the Turo app and made his way to Vegas, where he parked in front of the Trump hotel on New Year’s Day, detonated explosives stashed in the truck and shot himself in the head, Las Vegas police said.

With the new development in the case, investigators are probing whether the solider’s motive was purely personal rather than political as previously considered given the location of the detonation and choice of vehicle.

The FBI had been looking into the possibility that the bombing was politically charged because it occurred outside a hotel owned by President-elect Donald Trump and inside a vehicle made by the company of Trump’s close ally Elon Musk, according to FBI officials.

Because suicidal people are so rational.

Is there independent verification, or she just says that?

No I mean that he was in the throes of rejection by his wife when he decided to go into Orange Man Bad Suicide Mode.

We do, and I must apologize to him for my sacrilege.

Sorry, Bob, your original prose is the best that ever was. :)

ICWYDT. "But the queerest they ever did see..."

This one sure dropped into bizarre zone fast. My weird-sh*t-o-meter is just about pegged.

My bet is somebody shot him in the head and programmed the Tesla to drive to the front door of the hotel where the “bomb” was detonated remotely.

I’m not so wise as those fire guys but when they opened the Tesla up
he didn’t say “shut the door, fellas, I’m trying to get a tan in here!”

I didn't even realize that "The Cremation of Sam McGee" was an apt reference to this event when I first posted back to you...

I said this 12 hours ago.

So her last FB profile post was over 8 years ago, May 2016. Now here’s a hunch, maybe she left him and it has been hurting him mentaly all these years. Only woman he ever loved. She was a rabid TDS supporter, loved her but was Was so despondent he figured to take his own life and a tribute to her do this evil deed as a token of his esteem for her. It would make a good movie plot anyway.

Honestly? I wasn’t thinking that either. Not consciously.

I have as much evidence for my theory as you have for yours.

I don’t know about that - taking the course he did has half the nation talking about him for the past 36 hours. Getting post mortem attention seems to be what a lot of them are after. And he’s getting it.

but if I went around town trying to buy high explosives,

I know in Ohio, you can buy a pretty impressive fireworks cache with very large mortars pretty easily. What I saw and what I’ve been hearing is he packed gas cans and fireworks in the bed

Yeah, I’m not buying that this guy planned all this, rented vehicle, etc. and decides to kill himself in front of Trump Hotel because he was distraught? No way.

Large commercial bags of flour or cement can be implemented to create dust initiators...
