This is getting even more suspicious. We all had obviously assumed that Tesla Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger had died in the explosion in front of Trump Tower in Las Vegas. However, the Las Vegas sheriff held a press conference Thursday and said that Livelsberger had been shot in the head before the detonation of the vehicle and there was a gun found at his feet.

Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson is taking that as Livelsberger shooting himself in the head, which seems likely.

This is suspect.

Yeah, this is weird. Committing suicide before completing your suicide mission?
Hang on now - self-inflicted gunshot wound?

How did the car explode?
Remote detonation?
This is a twist I wasn’t expecting

Where is the video evidence? Please release that immediately.

Here is what they are saying...
— RIDER (@RiderRiderZeke) January 2, 2025
1. Drive up and stop in front
2. Foot on brake
3. Shoots self
4. Foot goes off brake and detonation occurs
2-4 happened in less than 15 seconds
We hadn't heard that, but it sounds possible.
If that gunshot wasn't self-inflicted, that brings up a whole slew of interesting questions...

Serious question: did the Cybertruck have summoning capability.

The cameras inside would tell them this. @elonmusk is this what happened?
— Sandy Hardy (@har26606511) January 2, 2025
We've read that Elon Musk is sending his own team of investigators to the scene of the explosion to try to recover the "black box" from the Cybertruck.
