Cybertruck Driver

From Dana Gentry's 1-4-25 MICHIGAN ADVANCE article entitled "Cybertruck Driver Left Behind Rant Praising Trump and Musk, Slamming Democrats":

The Green Beret who shot himself seconds before the Tesla Cybertruck he rented went up in a fiery explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day referred to the event as “a wake up call” and effort to rid himself of the “burden” of the lives he took in combat. He also advocated a Jan. 6-like takeover of federal buildings and the ouster of Democrats from government and the military.

“Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary,” he wrote. “They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse.”

“Fellow Servicemembers, Veterans and all Americans, TIME TO WAKE UP! We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves,” Matthew Livelsberger wrote on one of two iPhones retrieved from the vehicle, in what police call two letters and a journal detailing his preparations in the ten days leading up to his suicide.

Evidence reviewed by police thus far “scratches the surface” of the information retrieved by investigators, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference Friday.

Metro’s release of the text following the news conference revealed Livelsberger’s messaging spiraled into a rant urging militia to line streets and converge on federal buildings.

“We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist! But right now we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse,” reads a second entry. “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? Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost, and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”
