The suspect in the New Year’s Day Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas was an active-duty highly trained Special Operations soldier, according to multiple reports.

The driver who rented the Tesla has been named as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger from Colorado Springs, Colorado.

He was said to be married to a social worker and on leave from duty in Germany at the time of the attack. His wife had not heard from him for several days, reported CBS News.

As the FBI and police investigators try to piece together the 8:40 a.m. Wednesday attack that left the driver dead and seven people injured outside the Trump International Hotel, CNN’s John Miller said the man who rented the Cybertruck had 19 years plus of military service and was in Special Forces command.

1. If he is highly trained and experienced, why is he dead at the crime scene?

[hlthe2b]

3. It is not yet confirmed the body was his--unrecognizable as to gender or any other feature. He rented

the vehicle and Denver News (who has broken most of this story) indicate his wife hadn't seen him much lately as she made accusations of "infidelity." So, if the body is him, that also gives rise to questions as to why a Special Forces soldier would go about creating such a crude improvised fireworks-derived explosive--that he certainly would know would not cause a "big explosion" of surrounding buildings (Trump Hotel) IF that was his intent.

A lot of questions...

[Irish_Dem]

12. Right. Crime scene does not fit the person of interest profile.

So perhaps the body is not his or there is missing information.

[Iggo]

31. Or the maybe the crime doesn't match the supposed motive.

Maybe it was just a very messy suicide.

Who knows?

[Irish_Dem]

32. We don't know what type of crime it is, or the motive.

Even if it was a suicide, it was very messy and dramatic.
And seems beyond chance that a smart, trained military man would
not understand the symbolism of a Tesla blowing up in front of a Trump hotel.

[thesquanderer]

4. He's not necessarily dead. From the article...

investigators could not be certain the person who rented the vehicle was the same as the one who died in the explosion because the body was so badly burned that identification was difficult."

[wolfie001]

18. Yet another puzzle to this mystery

New Year's 2025 not starting off well at all.

[Irish_Dem]

35. Yes we have to wait for the DNA testing to come back for a positive ID.

[taxi]

7. Gullible fool. Shill.

Maybe he was told the trigger mechanism would act like the neuralyzer used in the movie Men in Black. No one would remember seeing him get out of the truck, there would be a short delay, and then all hell would break loose. He would be long gone.
Instead that button locked the doors and lit the fuse. He was highly trained to follow orders. And now he is long gone.

[Irish_Dem]

13. He was highly trained and experienced, would he know how trigger mechanisms work?

[LiberalArkie]

17. Another Trump ear shooter person? Scape goat?

[Mike 03]

8. That's why I've been leaning towards it not being an accident

But so far we don't have evidence of any huge life stressors. On the contrary, he was set to be married. Nor have we been told that he left a note or a final communication. So maybe not.

With both of these suspects, I hope technicians are able to perform toxicology tests.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Could he have been set up in some way? By someone else?

[Wicked Blue]

16. According to some reports the guy was married

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. Combination gas canisters and fireworks is not an accident. . . . .nt

[wolfie001]

15. Maybe Timmie McVeigh disease?

So many questions and potential theories.

[Unladen Swallow]

34. Yep, good question

Literally nothing about this story makes sense.

[Traildogbob]

2. After Congress

Cave woman shuts down the border these illegal immigrants will no longer be a threat to us good MurKKKans. So we just have to hold up until January 29 and President’s Select, Mump, will make us safe again.
And Senator Foghorn will get the truth out to all of us to know, or he will bring Fresh Hell down on us.
Sorry but GQP Hell is not fresh, that shits been pouring down like a monsoon since 2015, with the escalator decent into hell.

5. 'Suspects in Vegas explosion, New Orleans attack served at same Army base'

"Authorities were investigating the link as a possible connection between the two New Year's Day attacks, those sources said. There was belief Thursday morning that the two men overlapped but there was not yet evidence that they were assigned together or knew each other, according to an official briefed on the investigation who spoke to ABC News."

"In a Thursday morning press briefing, FBI officials in New Orleans said there was 'no definitive link' between the two events."

Curiouser and curiouser...

9. Not really -- Ft. Liberty aka Ft Bragg is huge

And where the SF are located.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Interesting

[randr]

6. Another Fox viewer I would guess

Sick on hate.

[speak easy]

10. "19 years plus of military service and was in Special Forces command."

That Cybertruck was awfully incompetent car bomb, if that was what was intended, let alone the work of a Special Forces commander. Does not compute.

[brer cat]

14. I agree. This is very strange.

[sinkingfeeling]

19. Maybe he was upset by Elon's support of the German far right.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. To me it seems like suicide after marital infidelity discovered. Wanted to be noticed, but politics unknown just yet

By picking tRump building and musky vehicle he got noticed.

I'm guessing he wanted to suicide and decide to go out with a bang in more ways than one. Might even be a suicide pact with a military buddy.

[intheflow]

22. I wondering if it was suicide by political activism.

Perhaps the seemingly weird, amatuerish bomb materials were because he didn't actually want anyone (else?) hurt. But the juxtaposition of a Tesla and Trump Tower is definitely not by accident.

[LeftInTX]

24. He shot himself in the head

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The highly decorated Army soldier inside the Tesla Cybertruck that burst into flames outside President-elect Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel shot himself in the head before the explosion and likely planned to cause more damage but the explosive was rudimentary and the steel-sided vehicle absorbed much of the force, officials said Thursday.

Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference that a handgun was found at the feet of the man, who officials believe is Matthew Livelsberger. Officials believe the shot was self-inflicted.

Damage from the blast was mostly limited to the interior of the truck. The blast “vented out and up” and didn’t hit the Trump hotel doors just a few feet away, the sheriff said.

“The level of sophistication is not what we would expect from an individual with this type of military experience,” said Kenny Cooper, a special agent in charge for the the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

[intrepidity]

27. Watching the video, it looked to me like there was a small blast

right at the front driver side just before the big explosion in the back.

I didn't look carefully at it frame by frame, but it would track with maybe a firearm setting off the explosion?

[Beachnutt]

25. But why an Elon musk produced cybertruck

Exploding in front of trumps trump tower ?
Would the guy have left a manifesto and authorities are keeping it under wraps ?

[Turbineguy]

26. If these suspects keep dying we'll never find out if

trump himself radicalized them with all his BS.

[kimbutgar]

28. Has anyone looked at his social media?

30. Are Green Berets taught to

manufacture and detonate explosives?

[JustAnotherGen]

33. I don't know about now

But have six audio tapes from my dad in a safe place (recorded in 2004).

He was in the first "class".

You'd be amazed at what they are capable of.
