On January 1, 2025, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside Trump International Hotel, resulting in the death of Master Sgt. Matthew Livelsberger, a U.S. Army Green Beret. The vehicle contained firework mortars and fuel canisters, leading officials to confirm the explosion was not a vehicle malfunction but an intentional act.
