Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret, shot himself in his Tesla Cybertruck before it exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.
His uncle, Dean Livelsberger, stated that Matt was a loyal supporter of Trump and described him as a "supersoldier," questioning his choice of a simple explosive given his military training.
The explosion occurred amid tensions from a recent terror attack in New Orleans, leading to speculation about potential connections, although authorities found no definitive links.
Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz remarked on social media that Livelsberger seemed like a "real CHAD," highlighting the bizarre admiration from some MAGA supporters toward Livelsberger.
As investigations continue, questions remain about Livelsberger’s motives, particularly why someone with his background would resort to such an amateurish construction for an explosion.
