The driver of the Tesla Cybertruck that caught fire and exploded in Las Vegas outside one of the hotels in Donald Trump’s business empire has been identified as Matthew Livelsberger, a US army veteran from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who died in the incident.
Livelsberger, 37, was killed in the explosion, while seven bystanders were wounded. The military veteran, identified by Denver’s KOAA and KTNV media outlets, was behind the wheel of the electric-powered truck, which investigators soon after discovered was packed with fireworks-style mortars, camping fuel and gas canisters when it exploded on Wednesday morning.

From what i've seen, I doubt it is.
We know it's active army special forces on leave. I would not be shocked in the slightest if they were overconfident and were insecurely transporting all their 31st camping stuff (fuel and fireworks) and low and behold blew themselves up.
The idea this is somehow a suicide bombing just seems to unlikely. They'd need to both want to kill themselves, send a message, but not harm many others? They could have easily driven that truck into the foyer and then blown themselves up and done a LOT more damage.
I think the only interesting question remaining is what set off the explosion. High odds a smoker, but might be there's something to do with cybertrucks that can cause a spark in rare cases.
Doubt it. The sheriff claims he died from a self-inflicted gunshot. Besides that, he rented a Tesla Cybertruck, one of Elon's trademarks, and it happened to explode within 15-20 seconds of being...
Doubt it. The sheriff claims he died from a self-inflicted gunshot. Besides that, he rented a Tesla Cybertruck, one of Elon's trademarks, and it happened to explode within 15-20 seconds of being in front of a Trump-owned hotel? That would be one hell of a coincidence with the current political climate.
I wonder if he expected the explosion to do more damage rather than be contained. He may have wanted to send a message with minimal casualties beyond himself. Or heck, maybe he did plan to do more damage and drive into the hotel like you suggested, but had a last-second change of heart about going that far.

NYT is reporting that he shot himself immediately prior to the explosion, which would seem to imply that this was intentional and not accidental.
Ah I hadn't heard when I posted this. Yeah that means it's quite odd. Thank god it wasn't worse.

Please do not feed the animals, it inflates their egos and makes them even more insufferable.
