Las Vegas Cybertruck Bomber Identified
Las Vegas, NV – In a shocking turn of events on the first day of 2025, the individual responsible for the explosive incident involving a Tesla Cybertruck at Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has been identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The incident unfolded when a rented Cybertruck, packed with explosives, detonated in front of the iconic Trump Tower, an event now under investigation as a potential act of terrorism. According to reports, the Cybertruck was laden with fireworks, gas tanks, and camping fuel, leading to a massive explosion that resulted in one fatality and seven injuries. The deceased was identified as the driver of the vehicle, Matthew Livelsberger, who, according to local media and online posts, had a military background, having served as a member of the US Army’s elite Green Berets.
The FBI, in coordination with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, has launched a full-scale investigation into the incident. A search warrant was executed at Livelsberger’s home in Colorado Springs, where further details about his life and possible motives are being pieced together. This incident has drawn parallels to another attack in New Orleans, where a similar vehicle from the same rental app, Turo, was used, raising questions about security protocols for vehicle rentals.
Authorities are meticulously examining the Cybertruck’s remains to understand how the explosives were triggered and to look for any signs of secondary devices, indicating a well-planned attack. Sheriff Kevin McMahill emphasized the commitment to community safety, stating, “We鈥檙e taking all of the precautions that we need to take to keep our community safe.”
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, clarified on X that the explosion was “unrelated to the vehicle itself,” attributing it to the fireworks and bomb materials placed in the truck’s bed. This clarification came amidst discussions on social media about the Cybertruck’s structural integrity, which, despite the intensity of the blast, directed much of the explosion away from the hotel, potentially reducing the extent of damage and casualties.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about security, particularly around high-profile locations like Trump Tower. With one person dead and several others injured, the event underscores the need for heightened vigilance and security measures in public spaces.
This report is based on information available from multiple news sources and social media posts, reflecting a community in shock but also a security apparatus in full response mode to prevent future such incidents.
