On January 1, 2025, at approximately 8:39 a.m. (PST), an improvised explosive device exploded in a Tesla Cybertruck parked outside the main entrance of the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, United States. The vehicle's sole occupant died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head immediately prior to the explosion and seven bystanders were injured by the blast. Authorities found that the vehicle contained firework mortars and gas canisters, which had fueled the explosion and fire. Authorities identified the driver and alleged perpetrator as 37-year-old Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an American-born, active-duty United States Army Special Forces soldier from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who was on leave from overseas duty. Livelsberger wrote two digital letters in which he said he was using explosives to convey a political message and ease his mental burdens. Livelsberger also sent an email manifesto stating he was under surveillance due to his knowledge of advanced military technologies and covert operations, including an alleged cover-up of war crimes.
