A decorated American soldier, Matthew Livelsberger, detonated a Tesla Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, leaving behind notes indicating the explosion was intended as a 'wake up call' for the nation's problems. Livelsberger, who fatally shot himself before the blast, expressed a need to 'cleanse' his mind of past burdens. Authorities are investigating his motivations, which appear to encompass political grievances, societal issues, and global concerns.
Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, fatally shot himself in a Tesla Cybertruck just before blowing it up outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas. Investigators said he left notes saying the New Year's Day explosion was a stunt to serve as a ' wake up call ' for the country's ills. Livelsberger also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to 'cleanse' his mind 'of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.
' 'This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives,' Livelsberger wrote in one letter found by authorities and released on Friday. The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the Trump International Hotel. Authorities said that Livelsberger acted alone. Livelsberger's letters covered a range of topics including political grievances, societal problems and both domestic and international issues, including the war in Ukraine. He said in one letter that the US was 'terminally ill and headed toward collapse.' Tesla engineers, meanwhile, helped extract data from the Cybertruck for investigators, including Livelsberger's path between charging stations from Colorado through New Mexico and Arizona and on to Las Vegas, according to Assistant Sheriff Dori Kore
