… Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the Cybertruck was rented to Matthew Alan Livelsberger, an active duty U.S. Army servicemember who was serving in Germany but was on leave in Colorado at the time of the incident. CBS News spoke to two relatives of Livelsberger who were unaware of any involvement in the incident, but who confirmed he had rented a Cybertruck. One relative told CBS News that Livelsberger’s wife had not heard from him in several days.

McMahill said gasoline canisters, camp fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the vehicle after the explosion, which occurred about 15 seconds after the vehicle pulled in front of the building. It’s still unclear how the explosives were ignited, he said.

    If this guy is a terrorist then he’s a pretty stupid one. Either way my money is on stupid.

      He owned a cybertruck, that’s a safe bet

        I’d read it was rented but even renting one qualifies as an act of stupidity.

          Does it? If it was a deliberate attack to send the obvious message (“fuck you” to both VP Trump and President Musk), the vehicle choice would be pretty important.

          Exploding yourself in a Honda Civic doesn’t say the same thing even if it has about the same amount of space for fireworks
