Army Soldier Linked to Fatal Tesla Cybertruck Explosion in Las Vegas

An explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas resulted in the driver's death and minor injuries to seven people. The driver is believed to be Army soldier Matthew Livelsberger. It remains unclear if the blast was linked to terrorism.

Authorities identified a U.S. Army soldier from Colorado as the likely individual who perished in a Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, which injured seven people. Investigators are determining if terrorism was involved but have yet to find a definitive connection.

Law enforcement associates the incident with Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old soldier from Colorado Springs, who was found with gasoline canisters and large fireworks in the truck. Livelsberger, who served five combat tours in Afghanistan, appeared to have acted solo, taking his own life prior to the explosion, according to police.

The FBI executed a search in Colorado Springs, connected to the Las Vegas event. The incident remains under investigation, while no strong ties to ideological motives have been made. Trump Organization and Tesla CEO have declined to comment officially.
