US Soldier Who Blew Up Cybertruck Left A Note

In the letter, he explained his actions.

The US soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck near the entrance to the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on January 1 committed suicide before the detonation, leaving a note. In it, 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger said that the explosion was not an act of terrorism, but a “wake-up call”,

This is reported by the Associated Press.

It is known that the American soldier-driver of the Cybertruck shot himself in the head immediately before the detonation of gasoline tanks and pyrotechnics placed in the back of the car. As a result of the gunshot wound, the Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, died in the car.

Among the charred items found inside the car were a pistol near Livelsberger's feet, other firearms, fireworks, a passport, a military ID, credit cards, an iPhone and a smartwatch. The gun was purchased legally.

What notes did the soldier-driver leave behind

The man 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.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.

“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 Friday.

The explosion caused minor injuries to seven people but virtually no damage to the Trump International Hotel.

The U.S. 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 U.S. was “terminally ill and headed toward collapse.”

Livelsberger harbored no ill will toward President-elect Donald Trump, law enforcement officials said. In one of the notes he left, he said the country needed to “rally around” Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

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 Koren.

According to AP, in recent years Livelsberger confided his former girlfriend who had served as an Army nurse that he faced significant pain and exhaustion she attributed to traumatic brain injury.

“My life has been a personal hell for the last year,” he told his ex-girlfriend Arritt in text messages during their early days of dating that she shared with The Associated Press.

Also, the Western media write that Livelsberger rose through the ranks and deployed twice to Afghanistan and served in Ukraine, Tajikistan, Georgia and Congo, according to the Army.
