Summary
Matthew Livelsberger, the suspect behind the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, was described as a “big” Trump supporter and a highly trained Green Beret with 19 years of military service.
Livelsberger, who died in the blast, rented the Cybertruck in Colorado and filled it with explosives, injuring seven.
Authorities are investigating the incident’s symbolism, speculating it may have been a political statement due to its location and links to Trump and Elon Musk.
No clear motive has been established.
What would be the point of that? He shot himself in the truck prior to the explosion. If you’re just going to do yourself in, what’s the point of having a half-ass explosion in front of a hotel, too? He’s been described as a “Trump-loving supersoldier patriot.” It wouldn’t be some false flag shit, because he was in the truck, that would have obviously not worked.
My best guess is that this “trump loving super patriot” didn’t like elon and was trying to make a point on what elon was doing to trump. The best way they saw to do so was a flashy explosion out of a cyber truck infront of a trump property. Of course if they loved trump then they wouldn’t actually care about maximizing damage to trumps building so they prioritized showiness over destruction. People also light themselves on fire in protest all the time. This was someone who wanted the same without the pain of burning to death so he shot himself before everything went up. If you were planning on killing yourself anyways why wouldn’t you do it in the truck.
Did he shoot himself? I haven’t heard that yet.
Yes, the info was released only recently:

Huh. And I suppose it’s impossible to say if it was immediately before the explosion, or some time before… the Cybertruck could have self-driven his dead body straight to Trump’s door before blowing up.
Described so by his parents according to what I read.
