Authorities have revealed new details about Matthew Livelsberger, the individual responsible for the recent explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck outside a prominent Las Vegas hotel. According to sources close to the investigation, Livelsberger allegedly contacted an ex-girlfriend days before the incident, boasting about his plans to rent the futuristic vehicle, describing it as making him “feel like Batman.”
The conversation is being scrutinized by investigators as they piece together Livelsberger’s motives and actions leading up to the attack. Officials have confirmed that the Cybertruck was rented shortly before it was detonated in an apparent act of violence that caused significant damage and raised concerns about public safety.
The ex-girlfriend reportedly informed law enforcement of Livelsberger’s comments after news of the explosion broke, providing additional context to the case. While authorities continue to investigate the extent of Livelsberger’s planning and any potential affiliations, they have also called for public assistance in gathering information.
The explosion has prompted heightened security measures in the area and a renewed focus on monitoring individuals deemed a potential threat. Federal and local agencies are working closely to ensure all leads are pursued, aiming to prevent any similar incidents in the future. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
