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.

BS. It was a marriage gone bad, a love Lorne soldier who lost his first and ever lasting love and decided to end it all. The tesla in front of Trump Tower was a message to his wife , FU, you made me do this.
If she’s afraid or responsible in any way...she’d lie her a** off since dead men tell no tales.
You know all that from remote viewing! You must be psycho! I mean psychic!
I’m inclined to agree.
She's friggin' lying.
A Green Beret Master Sergeant just does not decide to go out and explode fireworks after he kills himself without taking other lives unless he is sending a message to his lover.That is all this was about. He stopped loving her today , the only way he knew how.
This attack is really weird.
A Special Forces guy who doesn’t understand explosives. Shot in the head before the bomb went off. Not nearly enough explosives to really damage the building.
I wonder if this wasn’t a murder dressed up as a terrorist attack
Big fireworks, not high explosives. Pre-New Years in Vegas...probably nobody would bat an eye. I knew a guy that said he used to sell fireworks to the Columbine killers in July. He’d go back to sell Oregon Christmas trees in December.
I figgered she was cheating. And maybe she was.
Sounds like projection.
Where did he stay for the rest of the time? When did he rent the Cybertruck?
“detonated explosives stashed in the truck and shot himself in the head, Las Vegas police said.”
Hard to do. I thought he offed himself before detonating the explosives via a dead man switch or something.
“...when his father last spoke with him on Christmas Day, he told CBS News, all seemed normal. He “loved the Army and loved America,” Roger Livelsberger said. “
Very odd that he would do this then.
He didn’t put a whole lot of thought into it, just bought camp stove gas and fireworks...not TATP, TNT, C4 etc. Not even fertilizer and diesel.
Firework buys around New Years aren’t exactly unusual in some states.
This story is already weird but it sure doesn’t help when confusing messes like this article are put out…. and folks just skim through them without connecting the dots (which are mostly missing).
The anti-Trump comments were made by his FIRST wife EIGHT years ago….. they would not appear to have any relevance to what happened.
There does not appear to be any comment in this article made as to when Livelsberger married his first wife (whose name was Sara) or when they became divorced (from other sources, the divorce was 2018). There does not appear to be any information as to the last time they were in contact with each other. It does not appear that they had any children.
It was his SECOND wife who supposedly broke up with him on Dec. 26 and as a result, he left his Colorado Springs home. There is a picture of her in the article but no name for her is given.
There does not appear to be any information in the article of when Livelsberger and his second wife met each and got married (from other sources, it appears they got married in 2022). In the NY Post article, there is a picture of Livelsberger holding a baby girl who looks to be well under one year old and the caption under the picture says he was a new father (apparently this picture was posted on Facebook and is dated September, 2024). That’s about the only indication in the article of how long he might have known his SECOND wife.
I’m with you. Why the travel? Smells.
Many questions on this one.
That’s pretty good. I was channeling lap steel and Hank.
.
The guy was a zeeper, his social media hints he was days before retirement, he shot himself inside a Musk’s truck in from of Trump’s hotel, and started a firework that was not going to do any serious damage.
Maybe he is a disgruntled Nazi disappointed in Trump who decided to off himself and have a Viking funeral.
