Mystery deepens over Special Forces soldier who blew up Cybertruck outside Trump Las Vegas hotel



The mystery over why an Army Special Forces soldier detonated his Cybertruck outside the Trump Las Vegas hotel on New Year’s Day was only deepened by the final investigative report from local cops on Monday.

The 70-page Las Vegas Metropolitan Police after-action dossier confirms that Matthew Livelsberger, 37, an active member of the elite Green Berets, left a “manifesto” on his phone, but the Department of War has deemed it classified and will not release it.

Livelsberger loaded the truck with fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel — and detonated it outside the lobby of the Trump property on the Vegas strip.

He “simultaneously” shot himself as the truck began to burn, authorities said.

The blast injured six people inside the hotel.

Despite the War Department’s decision to keep Livelsberger’s manifesto under wraps, the LVMPD report references several other clues about his motives.

He left behind a note that his  shocking suicide wasn’t a terror attack but a way for the elite solider to “cleanse” his mind — while blasting the “feckless leadership” of a US that is “near collapse,” authorities said.

“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,” Livelsberger, 37, wrote in a notes app.

One note was sent to Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL and CIA contractor. It has not been released in its entirety, leaving  questions about what drove Livelsberger to take his own life.

The after-action report details the police response and ensuing investigation from several agencies, including the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The report calls the explosion “a premeditated attack involving a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, with the potential to cause mass casualties and extensive structural damage.”
