The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that blew up outside Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on New Year's Day has been identified as active-duty U.S. Army soldier Matthew Livelsberger, The Associated Press is reporting, citing law enforcement officials.
The officials spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. Livelsberger, 37, has several addresses associated with him and was on leave from Germany, where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group.
On Wednesday, he reportedly pulled the truck up outside the hotel at around 8:40 a.m. local time, and it exploded about 15 to 20 seconds later. The explosion killed Livelsberger and injured seven others.

The Brief
1- person was killed when a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday
2- Police are investigating the blast as possible terrorism
3- The truck’s bed was loaded with firework mortars and camping fuel canisters
LAS VEGAS - The Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday was loaded with fireworks and other devices, police say.
One person – the driver – was killed in the blast. Seven people nearby were injured.
Police are investigating the explosion as possible terrorism with help from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been posting updates on social media.
WHY DID THE CYBERTRUCK EXPLODE?
WHAT WE KNOW: Surveillance footage on social media showed the Cybertruck explode outside the front doors of the Trump International Hotel with no warning. There was no obvious sign of smoke or any other fire before the sudden blast, which sent debris flying and left the electric vehicle a flaming wreck. (Excerpt)
Somebody has to control these leftist, pro-Ukrainian neocons.
One of your Ukrainian freedom nazis?
Tesla stock is way down today, about $90 per share from a high last week.
Going to be interesting to learn exactly what explosives were used. Looked in the video like fireworks going off. A very diffused explosion, of minimal impact. Did not even shatter the windows nearby. You would think that someone in the military would have the training to know what to use to inflict more damage. If the bed of the truck were full of nitrogen fertilizer and fuel oil, Good Night Irene! Thank God this was an incompetent terrorist.
Per Las Vegas LE, he had a single gunshot to his head. This is a very odd story.

I respect your freedom to hold your own or different opinion. We both have the freedom of thought and the freedom of expression to hold our own point of view.
Als it is absolutely not my intention or responsibility to “change” or form an opinions for someone else. Fact check for yourself :)
Actually, he might have died before the explosion from a gunshot wound to the head. They say he killed himself with a Desert Eagle. So the makeshift bomb was detonated either by timer or remotely. Or possibly he survived the explosion and shot himself. This keeps getting weirder.
NOW - Sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says victim in Cybertruck explosion suffered gunshot to the head before blast; “The individual had sustained a gunshot wound to the head prior to the detonation of the vehicle.”
“ Was he a Zeeper?”
***********************
Nah…. apparently too much of a leftist to be here as a Zeeper but was of the same mind as the ZEEPERS when it came to enthusiastic support of the Ukraine war.
We shouldn’t be surprised he was active duty, considering how Biden’s seconds have ruined the military. It will be so good to have the Trump administration fix it.
So did he mean to commit suicide or did the bomb go off before he meant to exit the vehicle?
This guy was out on approved leave by the Army at the time of his death, according to U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
Wonder what that was all about?
I read on X he hated Trump. Well, for that I blame all the fake stuff the news put out these past few years. There’s probably all sorts of nuts out there that are ‘radicalized’ by their stupid lies and biased reporting.
The MSM has created monsters out there and this guy was one of them.
“… The Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday was loaded with fireworks and other devices, police say.…”

Clearly, DEMOLITIONS was not one of his Special Forces specialties.
Burned beyond recognition with a bullet hole in the head, so says the FIBs.
Color me skeptical.
EC
This does seem to have the same footprint as a crazy guy who blew up something, i.e. Timothy McVeigh, David Koresh.
It's also not the typical mass murder/suicide like the Islamist attacks. This one is in it's own little niche. Perhaps the only reason the local police are allowed to address this is that the FBI is going through some inner turmoil right now. Their world changes in three weeks.
Could we be seeing the FBI wrapping up the family business, Corleone style?
Absolutely strange.
Fox News broadcast a News flash regarding weapons, I.D. etc
This is a very odd & not complete story.
I read his ex-wife hated Trump- missed the info that he did as well.
This story gets stranger by the hour. Hard to know what’s real.
“his story gets stranger by the hour. Hard to know what’s real.”
Totally agree.
They wanted to ‘sweep this under the rug’ as fast as possible too!
