Explosion in front of Trump-Hotel: Cybertruck brings chaos and tragedy!

Trump International Hotel, Las Vegas, USA - On January 1, 2025, a tragic explosion occurred in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas when a Tesla cyberruck detonated. A man who had rented the vehicle was killed in the incident and seven other people suffered injuries. The late man, Matthew Alan Livelsberger, was a 37-year-old active sergeant of the US special forces who belonged to the 10TH Special Forces Group and was stationed in Germany. At the time of the incident he was on vacation in Colorado.

On the loading area of the cyber truck, fireworks, guest tanks and camping fuel were found, which were identified as the trigger of the explosion. The circumstances indicate that the explosion was caused by a large fireworks or a bomb, not by a technical defect in the vehicle. The telemetry data of the cybertruck confirm that there was no technical defect, which was noted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The FBI is currently investigating the incident as a possible terrorist act.

Investigations and reactions

The Las Vega's police and the FBI have so far not identified any other suspects that are connected to the incident.

Clark County's fire brigade was called to a vehicle fire at 8:40 a.m. After the incident there was an evacuation of the Trump Hotel and an increased police presence in the area. President Biden has also stated that the investigation into possible connections between the incidents.

for the Tesla Cybertruck, which came onto the market in 2023, the price is between $ 80,000 and $ 100,000. The vehicle had been rented via a website in Colorado, which had previously been used for the assassin of New Orleans.
