Tragedy struck America two different times on New Year's Day 2025. First, an ISIS-inspired killer plowed a rented truck through a crowd of innocent people in New Orleans, killing over a dozen of them. Then, a US soldier suffering from PTSD blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside of Donald Trump's Las Vegas hotel.

The New York Post is reporting that we finally have some more information about the Las Vegas bomber after a suicide note from him was found.

Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger left behind two notes in a burned cellphone that was recovered from inside the destroyed Tesla he had rented.

The motive:

Livelsberger said in the notes that he "simultaneously" shot himself while detonating explosives found in the Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel on January 1.

According to the notes, this was NOT a "terrorist attack."

"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," the age 37 active member of the Army's elite Special Forces 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," Livelsberger wrote.

In another note, Livelsberger demanded his fellow servicemembers and Americans to do one thing:

"WAKE UP"

Livelsberger demanded that veterans and civilians alike need to wake up about the type of people who are leading us:

"We are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves," Livelsberger wrote. "We are the United States of America, the best country people to ever exist! But right now we are terminally ill and headed toward collapse."

Livelsberger had been deployed to Afghanistan in 2017 and 2018 and was a staunch supporter of President-elect Donald Trump. He had been in the army for at least 19 years, according to his LinkedIn profile. Livelsberger reportedly joined Green Berets in 2006.

Federal officials indicated that Livelsberger had been suffering from PTSD and other personal issues that contributed to his desire for suicide.

"Although this incident is more public and more sensational than usual, it ultimately appears to be a tragic case of suicide involving a heavily decorated combat veteran who was struggling with PTSD and other issues," said FBI Special Agent Spencer Evans.

The "other issues" might have been his failing marriage. The New York Post reports that Livelsberger's wife broke up with him six days before he killed himself. His wife, who Livelsberger shared a baby daughter with, reportedly told Matthew that she knew that he had been cheating.

No matter how you slice it, this is a tragic story that could have been avoided. Let's pray that It doesn't happen again anytime soon.
