Details of Cybertruck Bomber's Alleged Manifesto: WH Strike Possible, Mass Conspiracy, China Poised to Devastate Targets on Eastern Seaboard
As investigators work to unravel the motivations behind a Bronze Star recipient’s decision to end his life in a Tesla Cybertruck loaded with explosives outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, a potentially revealing email has surfaced. Allegedly sent by the man himself, the message suggests an ominous motive: raising awareness of “gravitic propulsion systems” drones reportedly launched by China.
While the email’s authenticity has not been fully verified, former Navy SEAL and podcaster Shawn Ryan claimed that retired intelligence officer Sam Shoemate received the email from the bomber, identified as former Army Ranger Matt Livelsberger. Livelsberger died by suicide on New Year’s Day in the rented Cybertruck outside the hotel.
The email not only alleged Chinese drone operations but also mentioned “war crimes that were covered up” in Afghanistan in 2019. According to Livelsberger, these incidents were concealed during President-elect Donald Trump’s first administration.
“You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation,” Livelsberger wrote.
The Washington Post reported that the email, handed over to authorities by Shoemate, has not been conclusively authenticated, though officials “think the correspondence is authentic.”
According to the New York Times, Livelsberger left a suicide note describing his act as a “wake-up call” rather than a terrorist attack.
“Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?” he wrote in the notes app on his phone. He also expressed concerns about the nation’s trajectory, stating, “Our soldiers are done fighting wars without end states or clear objectives.”
Explaining his timing, Livelsberger wrote, “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.”
Authorities noted that the 37-year-old was battling mental health issues.
In the email to Shoemate, however, Livelsberger made claims more startling than those authorities have released, including an explanation for recent drone sightings on the U.S. East Coast. According to him, these drones indicated China’s readiness to target high-value American sites.
“What we have been seeing with ‘drones’ is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US,” Livelsberger wrote. “Only we and China have this capability.”
He alleged that “China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As for now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon,” referencing the Chinese spy balloon that crossed U.S. airspace in early 2023.
Livelsberger warned, “Because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned [aircraft], they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed.”
He also claimed he was being tracked by the Department of Homeland Security or the FBI and planned to flee to Mexico. Authorities, however, stated that Livelsberger was not on their radar before the explosion.
Regarding the war crimes, Livelsberger cited “airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019” involving the Trump administration, Pentagon, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Central Intelligence Agency. “The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear,” he alleged in the email.
The FBI said during a media briefing that there is “strong evidence” the email was authored by Livelsberger.
Many of Livelsberger’s claims, especially about “gravitic propulsion,” remain speculative at best. This theoretical concept has yielded little beyond pseudoscience with current technology.
Livelsberger’s mental health challenges may explain both the explosion and his choice of a method that left his identification intact while his body was heavily damaged.
As one observer noted, his approach—targeting Trump Tower in a Cybertruck loaded with fireworks and gas—may have been deliberately designed to attract media attention without causing other casualties.
“This would add credibility and a level of seriousness to his claims,” the commenter suggested, while emphasizing his apparent intention to make a spectacle rather than harm others.
Ultimately, Livelsberger’s email and his method of death amplify his allegations at a time when trust in federal institutions is at a low point. While these claims demand skepticism, they offer a glimpse into the psyche of a man seemingly gripped by an apocalyptic vision of danger—whether grounded in reality or fueled by his mental state.
