The active-duty US Army Green Beret who authorities say exploded a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas this week struggled with injuries relating to his military service and said he was depressed while they were together a few years ago,

The string of coincidences that initially appeared to link the New Year's Day tragedies in New Orleans and Las Vegas have been overtaken by mounting evidence that the Tesla Cybertruck bombing at the Trump International Hotel was in fact a public display of a private tragedy,

Matthew Livelsberger, a highly decorated Special Forces soldier, is believed to have rented the Tesla truck, driving it to the entrance of the hotel and touching off an explosion. Livelsberger died of apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds,
