Matthew Livelsberger, a U.S. Army veteran who served at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, carried out a terrorist attack on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring three others. The FBI found no evidence of terror ties to Livelsberger, but police said he was struggling with PTSD and other issues. In contrast, another U.S. Army veteran, Hayat Boumeddine Jabbar, who also served at Fort Bragg, carried out a terrorist attack in New Orleans, killing 14 people and injuring dozens more after pledging allegiance to ISIS.

He left notes saying the explosion was a "wake-up call" for the country's ills and that he needed to "cleanse" his mind of the lives he took during his time in Afghanistan. Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006, deploying twice to Afghanistan, and had been awarded five Bronze Stars, including one with a valor device. He was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other issues, according to authorities. The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but no significant damage to the hotel. Tesla engineers helped investigators extract data from the Cybertruck, which showed Livelsberger's path between charging stations from Colorado through New Mexico and Arizona to Las Vegas.

Livelsberger was registered as a "No Labels" voter, a nationwide movement that rejects extremism and promotes common sense, but his registration was canceled before he re-registered in July 2024. He served in the Army from January 2006 to December 2012, including time at Fort Bragg, and was on approved leave at the time of his death.
