Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a 37-year-old U.S. Army Green Beret, was identified as the suspect in the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on January 1, 2025. Livelsberger, a highly decorated soldier with nearly two decades of service, rented the Cybertruck in Denver before driving it to Las Vegas. The vehicle, loaded with gas canisters and fireworks, exploded after Livelsberger reportedly took his own life. Seven people were injured in the blast. Authorities are investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism, though a clear motive has yet to be established. Connections to a similar truck attack in New Orleans on the same day are being explored. Family members described Livelsberger as a patriotic individual who deeply admired former President Donald Trump. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether Livelsberger acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy.
