Explosion Involving Cybertruck Linked to Special Forces Soldier

A Las Vegas explosion involving a rented Tesla Cybertruck has led to the suspected death of an active-duty US special forces soldier.


Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a 37-year-old from Colorado, was identified as the rental occupant found deceased in the vehicle that exploded outside of President-elect Donald Trump's hotel. The incident, which injured seven individuals, raises questions about Livelsberger’s motives and mental health.

The Cybertruck explosion occurred just outside the Las Vegas hotel where President-elect Donald Trump was staying, igniting a swift investigation by local authorities. Las Vegas police identified the renter as Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a 37-year-old active-duty soldier from Colorado. While officials believe Livelsberger is the deceased individual found in the wreckage, confirmation is pending through DNA evidence due to the condition of the body.

The explosion involved a Cybertruck that contained several fuel canisters and firework mortars, resulting in injuries to seven people, all of whom sustained minor injuries. Sheriff Kevin McMahill noted that Livelsberger appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, which has led authorities to suggest the incident could be classified as a suicide accompanied by the explosion.

Service records indicate that Livelsberger had extensive military experience, having been a member of the Army and National Guard prior to his active duty status, which began in December 2012 as a special operations soldier. His family shared that he was on approved leave to visit his loved ones and spoke with his father during Christmas, indicating that everything seemed normal at that time.

Authorities are still investigating and have yet to determine an official motive for the tragedy, raising concerns about the mental health and well-being of service members. Updates on the investigation will continue as officials gather further evidence and statements.
