Questions Surrounding Trump Hotel Explosion Focus On Drones And Federal Tracking

The explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck outside Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day has revealed a tangled web of allegations tied to the suspect, Matthew Alan Livelsberger. The former Army master sergeant, who died in the incident, left behind a series of writings accusing federal agencies of misconduct and raising concerns about advanced drone operations.

Livelsberger’s email, sent shortly before the explosion, claimed to offer insight into the mysterious drone sightings reported across the U.S. He alleged the drones use gravitic propulsion technology, a system he attributed to both the U.S. and China. Livelsberger described these drones as highly advanced and the “greatest threat to national security,” warning they could conduct undetectable attacks.

The email also alleged Livelsberger was under constant surveillance. He accused Homeland Security and the FBI of tracking him digitally and physically in the days leading up to the explosion. Livelsberger suggested the agencies intended to stop him from crossing into Mexico but hesitated to act due to their awareness of the explosives he carried.

Notes recovered from Livelsberger’s phone offered additional context about his motivations. He expressed frustration with what he called ineffective and self-serving leadership in the U.S., stating the explosion was a “wake-up call” rather than an act of terrorism. Livelsberger reflected on his military service and guilt over the lives lost during combat missions.

Livelsberger also accused U.S. government agencies, including the CIA, Department of Defense, and DEA, of covering up civilian deaths caused by 2019 airstrikes in Afghanistan. He claimed he was involved in targeting operations that resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths, describing the events as war crimes that were deliberately concealed to protect officials.

Investigators believe Livelsberger rented the Tesla Cybertruck through a peer-to-peer service, packed it with explosives, and drove it to the Trump hotel. A gunshot wound found on his body suggests he may have taken his own life before the explosion occurred. Federal officials continue to assess the credibility of his claims as part of the investigation.
