Matthew Livelsberger, US Army Veteran, Dies in Self-Inflicted Tesla Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, 7 Injured
Jan 3, 2025, 11:49 PM
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old US Army Green Berets member, died in a self-inflicted explosion involving a rented Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The incident occurred on New Year's Day and resulted in minor injuries to seven people. According to the FBI and Las Vegas police, Livelsberger suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and had no animosity toward President-elect Donald Trump. Notes found on his phone and shared by police indicated that the explosion was intended as a 'wake-up call' rather than a terrorist attack. Livelsberger's writings expressed concerns about the state of the US, suggesting the country was 'headed toward collapse' under weak leadership. The FBI has confirmed that there is no link between this incident and a separate attack in New Orleans that occurred hours earlier.
