Summary

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Army veteran from Colorado Springs, has been identified as the driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day.

Livelsberger died in the blast, which injured seven people with minor injuries.

Authorities are investigating the explosion as a potential act of terror, noting Livelsberger’s military connection to Shamsud Din Jabbar, the suspect in the deadly New Orleans attack hours earlier.

Firework mortars and fuel canisters were found in the truck, with no confirmed motive yet.

      Also they served in Afghanistan at the same time

      There’s every chance they knew each other, the a good chance it wasn’t widely known that they knew each other

      FBI want us to believe the two soldiers each individually decided to hire an electric truck and use it to try and kill people and do damage

      Awfully coincidental

        I don’t think it’s the water supply, more likely that being part of an organisation that trains you to take lives devalues said lives for you. Also, military training is effectively inflicting trauma on you, and forcing you to adopt doing disciplined soldier stuff as a coping strategy. You know, the whole break down and build it back up thing.
