Mystery Surrounds Explosive Tesla Cybertruck Incident Near Trump Hotel

A Tesla Cybertruck explosion near Trump's Las Vegas hotel left one dead and seven injured. Matthew Livelsberger, an Army soldier with a valor award, is suspected to have acted alone. Investigations are ongoing as officials explore possible terrorism links and Livelsberger's motives.

The explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas left one person dead and seven others with minor injuries. Authorities have identified the victim as Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old U.S. Army soldier from Colorado Springs. Investigations are ongoing as officials look for potential links to terror activities.

Livelsberger, awarded a Bronze Star for valor, was believed to be inside the vehicle at the time of the explosion. Investigators confirmed he had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound before the explosion, which authorities suspect as a solitary act. Military identification and personal belongings were retrieved from the vehicle, further confirming his identity.

In the aftermath, a search conducted in Colorado Springs found connections to the incident. While authorities explore potential motives, the FBI has yet to determine if this was an act of terrorism. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, clarified on social media that the explosion was caused by fireworks or a bomb, not the Cybertruck itself.
