- Media have named a possible motive for the suspect in the Cybertruck bombing in Las Vegas


A possible reason for the bombing of a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas by suspect Matthew Lievelsberger could be his separation from his wife because of her infidelity. The New York Post reported on January 3 that.
"The wife of the Army soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday had broken up with him six days before he killed himself in the vehicle," the paper noted.
The suspect left the Colorado Springs home after Christmas and traveled to Las Vegas, where the incident occurred. It was previously suspected that Lievelsberger was acting for political reasons.
It is noted that the couple has a child together.
Tesla Cybertruck electric car caught fire, followed by an explosion near the tower of US President-elect Donald Trump in Las Vegas on January 1. The Associated Press later reported that the incident left one person dead and seven injured.
Tesla has launched an investigation into what happened. According to Tesla founder Ilon Musk, the Cybertruck explosion was caused by very large fireworks or a bomb that was in the back of the car. He also called the car explosion a terrorist attack and emphasized that the strength of the pickup truck's material prevented more damage from the blast.
U.S. President Joe Biden said during an official address that he had instructed his team to provide all necessary assistance in the investigation of the Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas and to ensure that all resources were available to federal state and local authorities.
Later, on January 2, it was reported that police in Las Vegas had identified the suspect in the electric car bombing. He turned out to be 37-year-old Matthew Lievelsberger from Colorado Springs, who previously served in the U.S. Army. Later it became known that the suspect served in Ukraine. TV channel CBC News with reference to the sheriff of the police of the county Kevin McMahill reported that he committed suicide before the explosion.
