Just hours after the New Orleans massacre, this happened in Las Vegas. It's interesting that both terror attacks occurred on New Year's Day in the two most carnal cities in America. Is there a message there?
Vegas Cybertruck bomber revealed as special forces soldier overseeing drones as first pic shows him posing in camo with rifle
Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger worked in special forces overseeing drone operations and maintenance, The Post has learned — as he is pictured for the first time, wearing camouflage and posing with a rifle atop a snowy mountain.
Livelsberger, 37, was last stationed at Camp Panzer Kaserne just southwest of Stuttgart, Germany, where he worked as a remote and autonomous systems manager for the Army.
In that position, Livelsberger was responsible for the “operations, maintenance and integration” of drones in the military, according to the Army.
Livelsberger’s military experience was highly focused on technology and engineering, working a series of Army roles that had him working intimately with some of the most critical intelligence capabilities in the special forces.
He also joined the Green Berets in 2006, first as a communications specialist until 2015, working with military communications systems such as computers and radio, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Livelsberger had been in the Army for at least 19 years — leaving him just one year away from full military retirement benefits.
Have you ever seen a car bomb that failed to break the windows nearby. Trump Hotel's doors are just a few feet from the truck? Also, have you ever seen a vehicle used as a car bomb where their tires were still inflated after the explosion or fire?
He previously served from 2015 to 2023 as a special forces intelligence and operations specialist, meaning he would have had access to highly sensitive military information. His work in that role involved studying the enemy with biometrics, cultural studies, technical data analysis and vulnerability assessments, as well as targeting.

He also listed a contract position with General Dynamics from 2011 to 2012 as a hyperspectral imaging integrator, during which he “engineered and fielded the first mobile standoff hyperspectral imaging ‘Lightguard Minotaur’ system,” his profile states.
Hyperspectral imaging is a highly advanced technological capability that allows operators to analyze objects and terrain beyond what the naked eye can see.
He listed his skills in that position as “explosives detection, government contracting, technology integration and technical writing.”
But why, Matthew, what was this all about?

Cybertruck explosion suspect wore Ukrainian neo-Nazi shirt
The US Army veteran suspected of detonating a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas was a supporter of the Ukrainian nationalist cause, according to a photo posted on Facebook.
Thirty-seven-year-old Matthew Livelsberger was killed and seven bystanders injured when the Cybertruck he was driving exploded outside the hotel on Wednesday. Tesla CEO Elon Musk attributed the blast to explosive materials transported in the truck’s bed, and the FBI is investigating the incident as a potential act of terrorism due to its proximity to the Trump International Hotel and a similar attack in New Orleans earlier that day.
In a photo purportedly shared by Liveslberger’s wife on Facebook in 2016, the former soldier can be seen wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with a Ukrainian coat of arms and the slogan “Slava Ukraini,” or “Glory to Ukraine.”
Coined by Ukrainian nationalists in the early 20th century, the phrase was popularized by Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera’s wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). It was declared the official rallying cry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2018 by President Pyotr Poroshenko, who came to power after the US-backed Maidan coup in 2014.
Since the conflict with Russia escalated in 2022, “Slava Ukraini” has become an internationally recognized slogan used by Kiev’s supporters. Before, however, it was predominantly used by neo-Nazis and other Ukrainian right-wing extremists.
At the time the photo was posted, Livelsberger was serving as an intelligence and operations specialist with the US Army’s elite Green Berets, according to his LinkedIn profile. An Army spokesman told CBS News that Livelsberger served for 19 years, and was stationed near Stuttgart in Germany before he took leave and returned to the US last month.
It is unclear whether Livelsberger had ever been to Ukraine, although the Army has confirmed that he completed multiple deployments in Afghanistan.
In one comment on LinkedIn, Livelsberger responded to an offer of work in Ukraine by saying that he knew a “top” special forces medical sergeant who had been “looking for just this opportunity.”
As a Green Beret, Livelsberger was based at Fort Liberty (formerly known as Fort Bragg) in North Carolina. Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who killed 14 people in the vehicle attack in New Orleans on Wednesday morning, was also stationed at Fort Liberty, and deployed to Afghanistan. The Army is currently investigating whether the men knew each other, a spokesperson told AP.
Livelsberger and Jabbar both rented the vehicles used in their attacks via the car-sharing company Turo, a company spokesperson has confirmed. The spokesperson said that neither suspect “had a criminal background that would have identified them as a security threat.”
It almost looks like an accidental explosion considering the lack of damage to Trump Hotel, except that reports have come in that he shot himself in the head just before the explosion. He seems like a seriously messed up dude.
