Authorities have confirmed that he is an active-duty US Army soldier who took his own life before blowing up a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump Las Vegas Hotel, he had “no animosity whatsoever” toward President-elect Donald Trump.
During a news conference Friday afternoon, Las Vegas Police Sheriff Kevin McMahill revealed new details of the investigation into 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, who shot himself in the head before blowing up a rented Tesla Cybertruck on New Year’s Day.
McMahill said they were able to recover information from one of his two phones so far that contained a log of his movements leading up to his death and also received a manifest showing he suffered from PTSD and had no hostility according to Trump.
Despite Livelsberger appearing to bear no ill will toward the president-elect, voting records showed him to be a registered “unmarked” voter.

As stated on the party’s website, they are “a national movement of common-sense Americans from both parties and neither party who reject extremism, embrace common sense, and believe that America only works when we work together.”
The group states that their mission is to empower the middle, in Washington and across America, and say that their “work has never mattered more.”
The El Paso County Clerk’s Office in Colorado confirmed to Fox News Digital that Livelsberger registered with the No Labels party in early 2020. However, the office confirmed that his registration was revoked, before he re-registered in July 2024.
In the clerk’s office, they also noticed that Livelsberger voted in the last election.

An Army spokesman previously told Fox News that Livelsberger had started active duty at army in January 2006 and attained the rank of sergeant.
