Sources say Matthew Livelsberger, a Green Beret who enlisted in the U.S. Army as a teenager, was a fan of the president-elect.
Summary
Matthew Livelsberger, the suspect behind the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, was described as a “big” Trump supporter and a highly trained Green Beret with 19 years of military service.
Livelsberger, who died in the blast, rented the Cybertruck in Colorado and filled it with explosives, injuring seven.
Authorities are investigating the incident’s symbolism, speculating it may have been a political statement due to its location and links to Trump and Elon Musk.
It's obviously too early to say the motive with 100% accuracy. But based on the timing of the event, and the Trump/Musk connection. It would seem like a Trump supporter who felt betrayed about the H1B visa thing.
All of the shooters and this guy have been trump fans. That's the thing about patriotism. If you use it as rhetoric but attack the foundation, the rah rah patriots tend to want to blow your head off.
Saying this as an ex-soldier: The highly trained special forces are just as susceptible to psyops as the people they use them on. Sometimes more so because "if it was used on them, they would know better from experience" as they drink two more scoops of hooah Kool Ade. Nationalism isn't patriotism, and patriotism is earned and not irrevocable.
I'd be more concerned about his 19 years....that is a particularly odd time to leave...(Assuming he was not active)
Either way, that soldier was lied to and manipulated, and fell for it.
“He loved Trump, and he was always a very, very patriotic soldier, a patriotic American,”
Yeah. Reading the rest of the article (not that I trust the press these days) his version of being an “American Patriot” is “fuck everyone I hate, they can burn” and he really wanted Trump to do that for him. President Musk getting in the way really pissed him off when he finally realized that Trump is just another spineless, vain, wealthy narcissist that DGAF about him.
Say what you will about the right wing lunatics, they are at least actively trying to take down the establishment. We leftist draw signs and bitch online 😑 me included
Fucking dumb coward and a dipshit trump voter. Look how dumb you redhats look with trump sucking the brown off the autistic slave owner musk's ass. We have Luigi the fucking stud ceo blaster and yall are a clown car full of traitors and ghouls
One thing I'm finding interesting: we've got the NO attack and this Trump/CT attack, happening in close temporal proximity and both hurting/killing innocents, but I'm only seeing the former labelled by the media as a "terrorist" attack. Could it, maybe, possibly, have something to do with the NO attacker potentially having an Islamic background? In contrast, a US military member, and a Trump supporter in particular, could never be awarded the "terrorist" badge by the press, "bomber" is the most he could hope to earn it seems.
And none of the current Trump supporters will believe that he was Trump supporter or that he had planned this attack. They will instead believe that he was murdered by the deep state.
Actually, it's a bit more interesting. According to an article that the BBC published, he shot himself in the head while in the car. From his viewpoint, it seems that the blast was just a fancy after-effect.
"Mr Livelsberger's cause of death was suicide from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Clark County Coroner's office."
Isn't that what the average Trump fan has in it's trunk? Doesn't the cybertruck come automatically with that shit? Guns, a Bible and a shit ton of explosives. And a flamethrower. "For protection". Maybe he exploded prematurely, you know, again like the average Trump fan. He just wanted to sleep at the clown's hotel before he was suppose to blow up some communists. Or this is what's left from NYE, he used to have much more but he already lit that shit up. Why else would a Trump chromosome blow himself up in a Musketeer death trap in front of his favorite crimal's business?
Symbolism? There's no well thought out and clear symbol. It's just an asshole who thinks going up in flames "sends a message (jokerMewing.jpg)". A well thought out symbol is more like Luigi Mangione's Deny Defend Depose.
This guy was promised a good life for the simple man by the republicans and he was repeatedly backstabbed, and that made him angry. Yet he stayed with them till the end at which point he couldn't imagine himself not being the MAGA Rambo wannabe he thought himself to be. That's what angry and dumb people do.
