The detonation of a Tesla Cybertruck near Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day has opened a window into disturbing claims made by the alleged perpetrator, Matthew Alan Livelsberger. The former Army master sergeant, who died in the explosion, left behind writings that connect his act to advanced drone technology, surveillance, and accusations of war crimes.
Livelsberger’s email, sent before the explosion, alleged the U.S. and China have developed drones using gravitic propulsion systems. He described these drones as a significant threat to national security due to their ability to carry out stealth operations with devastating effects. According to Livelsberger, the drones have been increasingly active along the U.S. East Coast in recent months.
The email also detailed Livelsberger’s belief that he was under close surveillance. He accused federal agents of monitoring him digitally and following him physically. He claimed they were waiting to intercept him before he could reach Mexico but hesitated to act because they were aware of the explosives in his possession.

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

Police discovered additional notes on Livelsberger’s phone, where he harshly criticized American leadership for its perceived failures. Livelsberger called the explosion a “wake-up call” rather than terrorism and described it as an effort to draw attention to issues he believed were being ignored. The notes also 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

The manifesto attributed to Livelsberger also accused the CIA, Department of Defense, and DEA of concealing civilian deaths during a 2019 airstrike campaign in Afghanistan. He claimed to have participated in the targeting operations that destroyed over 125 buildings, resulting in hundreds of civilian casualties. Livelsberger labeled these events as war crimes that were deliberately hidden to avoid accountability.
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

Authorities believe Livelsberger rented the Cybertruck through a peer-to-peer service, packed it with explosives, and drove it to the Trump hotel. A gunshot wound found on his body suggests he took his own life before the blast, leaving investigators to verify the credibility of his claims.
