**Tragic Death of Elite Soldier Linked to Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump’s Hotel**
**An active-duty US special forces soldier's rented Cybertruck exploded in Las Vegas, raising questions about motive.**
The recent explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the hotel of President-elect Donald Trump in Las Vegas has been linked to an active-duty US special forces soldier, Matthew Alan Livelsberger, 37, from Colorado. The vehicle had been filled with fuel canisters and firework mortars, leading to an incident that injured seven individuals, all of whom suffered minor injuries.
Las Vegas police have confirmed that they believe the deceased, found in the vehicle, is Livelsberger, although they are awaiting DNA results for final confirmation. Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill reported that the body was burnt beyond recognition and had a gunshot wound that is suspected to be self-inflicted. He described the situation as a likely suicide followed immediately by the explosion.
Livelsberger rented the Cybertruck on December 28 in Denver, Colorado, and drove it to Las Vegas. With a significant military background, he served in both the Army and National Guard and had been on approved leave to visit family, including his wife and eight-month-old daughter, in Colorado. His father recounted that their last conversation during Christmas revealed no signs of distress.
The incident has sparked an investigation into the motives behind the explosion and whether there were any underlying issues that may have contributed to this tragic outcome. More details are expected to emerge as authorities continue their inquiries.
