A recent tragic incident involving a U.S. soldier and a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas has left many shocked and searching for answers. The soldier in question, Matthew Livelsberger, had reportedly separated from his wife just a week before this unfortunate event took place.

This story began in Colorado Springs, where Matthew lived with his wife and their young daughter. Accusations of infidelity led to a heated argument just after Christmas, prompting Matthew to leave his family home. This breakdown in their relationship seemed to set off a chain of events culminating in the tragic scene outside the Trump hotel.

After leaving Colorado, Matthew rented a Tesla Cybertruck through a car-sharing service and made his way to Las Vegas. It was on New Year’s Day that he took his own life inside the vehicle, using explosives to cause a blast. This shocking act led to immediate speculation about potential political motives, given the location and the well-known owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, who is an ally of Donald Trump.

However, investigators have begun to lean towards the possibility that personal hardships, rather than political statements, influenced Matthew’s actions. “We’re very aware of the implications given the vehicle and location,” stated FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans.

The Tesla Cybertruck’s solid design limited the extent of the blast damage, with Elon Musk commenting on social media about the truck’s resilience. “The Cybertruck was the wrong choice for causing damage,” Musk remarked. “The explosion was contained and directed upward, sparing the hotel lobby from harm.”

Matthew, identified through personal items in the vehicle, served in the Army for 19 years and was a member of the Special Forces. His uncle shared fond memories, describing him as a dedicated soldier with deep admiration for former President Trump.

Though the blast did result in minor injuries for seven individuals, there were no fatalities aside from Matthew’s tragic death.
