A 37-year-old Green Beret detonated a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Las Vegas hotel on New Year's Day, killing himself and injuring six, in a premeditated attack linked to government dissatisfaction.

A 70-page report by Las Vegas Metro Police confirms that Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Army Green Beret, detonated a Tesla Cybertruck packed with fireworks, gas tanks, and fuel outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on January 1, 2025, killing himself and injuring six. The attack, described as premeditated, was not classified as terrorism but as a “wake-up call” against perceived government failure, per notes found on his phone. Investigators found legally obtained weapons and devices, and the report recommends improved first responder training on electric vehicle hazards, clearer interagency communication, and increased staffing during major events. The full manifesto remains classified, and claims about AI use are unverified.
