Army ranger Matthew Livelsberger boasted to his ex-girlfriend about renting the Tesla Cybertruck pickup days before he killed himself and blew up the vehicle outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, claiming he felt like Batman.
The 37-year-old Army soldier playfully reached out to his old flame Alicia Arritt at 9 a.m. when he was in Denver on Dec. 29, days after he left his Colorado Springs home because his wife confronted him for his alleged cheating.
“I rented a Tesla Cybertruck. It’s the s–t,” Livelsberger said, according to text messages obtained by the Denver Gazette.
Arritt did not expect to hear from Livelsberger — who had since married and had a child — since the pair stopped talking after their breakup in 2021.
The single mother says it was nice to hear from her old boyfriend as he sent several more messages along with photos and videos of the truck.

He parked the explosives-filled vehicle in the valet area of the Trump Hotel where he fatally shot himself in the head.
Livelsberger was the only person killed in the incident and his body was burned beyond recognition. Authorities identified him from his passport and Army ID found inside the truck.
Seven people sustained minor injuries from the blast.
Investigators discovered fireworks-style mortars, camping fuel and canisters inside the truck.
The FBI was investigating to see if the bombing was politically charged because it occurred outside a hotel owned by President-elect Donald Trump and inside a vehicle made by the company of Trump’s close ally Elon Musk.
Arritt questioned why Livelsberger would do it, as she knew him as a conservative, the Denver Gazette reported.
Officials are also investigating whether the active Special Forces soldier, known to be a “Rambo-type patriot” and staunch Trump supporter, purposefully picked a Cybertruck to limit civilian casualties, a source told The Post.
