The explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck near Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day has brought intense focus to the alleged perpetrator, Matthew Alan Livelsberger, a former Army master sergeant. His writings, including a detailed email and phone notes, have raised serious questions about government operations, drone technology, and military conduct.
Livelsberger’s email, sent before the explosion, claimed to reveal the origins of unexplained drone sightings across the country. He described these drones as utilizing advanced gravitic propulsion systems, a capability he attributed to both the U.S. and China. Livelsberger called these drones the “most dangerous threat to national security,” warning of their potential for undetected strikes.
The email also revealed Livelsberger’s belief that he was under close surveillance. He accused Homeland Security and the FBI of tracking him both digitally and physically in the days leading to the explosion. Livelsberger suggested the agencies planned to stop him before he could reach Mexico and claimed they refrained from intervening due to his possession of a large explosive device.

What was the true motivation behind Matthew Livelsberger's actions as detailed in his manifesto, beyond what is explicitly stated, and how did his military background influence his decision-making process?

I urge everyone to dedicate at least 45 minutes to fully grasp the details that have unfolded over the past few days. This episode takes a deep dive into the manifesto—an email sent to @samosaur by Matt Livelsberger himself. Within this chilling document, Livelsberger boldly… pic.twitter.com/Im9aLcM7QA

Authorities also recovered notes from Livelsberger’s phone, where he criticized American leadership as ineffective and corrupt. He characterized the explosion as a “wake-up call” rather than a terrorist act, arguing it was intended to draw attention to what he perceived as critical national issues. His writings reflected his struggles with guilt over the lives lost during his military service.
NEW: Investigators claim they have found notes from Matthew Livelsberger, say he discussed "conflicts elsewhere" and "domestic" issues.
The FBI also now says that they have strong evidence that suggests the "manifesto" that was covered by Shawn Ryan *was* Livelsberger's.

Next time don’t take the screenshot of Matt Livelsberger’s “manifesto” in editor mode.
Poor attention to detail for an “intelligence analyst.” 😆 https://t.co/gPnM0ZZT81 pic.twitter.com/c8ouKJUgbM

The supposed Cybertruck Bomber Livelsberger email / manifesto. I question everything coming from Federal Intelligence Agent Shawn Ryan. 👀 pic.twitter.com/5zkasD5SoH

Livelsberger’s email included accusations against U.S. agencies, including the CIA, Department of Defense, and DEA, alleging they had covered up civilian casualties during 2019 airstrikes in Afghanistan. He claimed involvement in targeting operations that destroyed over 125 buildings and killed hundreds of civilians. Livelsberger referred to these events as war crimes hidden to protect government officials.
There is ZERO evidence or proof that the circulating "manifesto" – which is being propagated by MSM – was written by Matthew Livelsberger. The timing is highly suspicious – if the email was from 12/31, what took 3 days for @ShawnRyan762 to release it? The answer is: it is FAKE.

Matthew Livelsberger said Cybertruck bombing was to 'cleanse' mind as 'strong evidence' suggests he wrote manifesto blasting Chinese drones. Better take this man’s warning seriously and I wouldn’t trust what the corrupt cowardly govt tells us! https://t.co/Kfkq0DmSn8

Investigators believe Livelsberger rented the Tesla Cybertruck, filled it with explosives, and drove it to the Trump hotel. A gunshot wound found on his body suggests he may have died by suicide before the blast. Federal authorities are now analyzing the claims in his writings as part of the ongoing investigation.
