Matthew Livelsberger was boasting about his rented Tesla Cybertruck to an old girlfriend on New Year's Eve, according to text messages shared with NBC News.

Summary

Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old decorated U.S. Army special forces veteran, died by suicide on New Year’s Day inside a Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.

Livelsberger, who struggled with PTSD, brain injuries, and personal challenges, left writings describing the U.S. as “terminally ill” but emphasized his act was “not a terrorist attack.”

His ex-girlfriend, Alicia Arritt, shared their final texts, revealing no warning signs of his plans.

      There’s a TPM article posted a couple of days with parts of his manifesto, which included a “purge” of democrats in DC. Terrorist-level shit.

      His own words:

      In one of the letters police say were found on his phone, Livelsberger expressed support for Donald Trump and the president-elect’s allies, Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He also expressed disdain for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and income inequality and expressed a concern about homelessness, according to the letters.

          Looks like its actually worse than the above. He calls for a trump aligned military coup and purge of dems in DC:

          Those documents denounce Democrats and demand they be “culled” from Washington, by violence if necessary, and express the hope that his own death will serve as a kind of bell clap for a national rebirth of masculinity under the leadership of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Bobby Kennedy Jr.

          Did you miss that stuff?

          Yeah, me too!

          Most headlines I’d seen in the news report only that he warned of national decline and bore “no ill will toward Mr. Trump,” in the words of one of the investigators. That gloss on Donald Trump is, shall we say, a bit of an understatement, as you can see in these excerpts:

          Military and vets move on DC starting now. Militias facilitate and augment this activity. Occupy every major road along fed buildings and the campus of fed buildings by the hundreds of thousands. Lock the highways around down with semis right after everybody gets in. Hold until the purge is complete. Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary. They all must go and a hard reset must occur for our country to avoid collapse.

          We must end the war in Ukraine with negotiated settlement. It is the only way. Focus on strength and winning. Masculinity is good and men must be leaders. Strength is a deterrent and fear is the product.

          Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.

          Consider this last sunset of ‘24 and my actions the end of our sickness and a new chapter of health for our people. Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans! We are second to no one.
