“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," Matthew wrote in one letter that was released by authorities.

A US Army soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas left a note in which he said the blast was a “wake-up call for America and not a terrorist attack.”
Matthew Livelsberger, 37, from Colorado Springs wrote a note saying that he wanted to “cleanse his mind after losing his brothers.”
According to the investigators, Matthew, who served in the US Army since 2006 and was deployed twice in Afghanistan, wanted to relieve himself of the burden of the lives he took.

“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," Matthew wrote in one letter that was found and released by authorities.
In another letter, he said the US was "terminally ill and headed towards a collapse,” according to media reports.
Investigators also revealed that Matthew’s letters showed no ill will toward President-elect Donald Trump and focused on various agendas, including political dissatisfaction and domestic and international issues.
The Tesla Cyber truck burst into flames in front of the Trump International Hotel on Jan 1, leaving Matthew dead and seven others injured.
His identity was confirmed by his family through his tattoos and a DNA test.
Prior to this, at least 15 people were killed in New Orleans after an ISIS-linked man rammed a truck into a crowd of New Year’s Day revelers.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden had said the investigators are looking into any possible links between the two incidents.
Matthew was a highly trained special force soldier involved in guerrilla warfare and served in Ukraine, Tajikistan, Georgia, and Congo, according to the Army.
On New Year’s he was on approved leave and had just returned from an overseas assignment in Germany.
According to Spencer Evans, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas Division, the incident appeared to be "a tragic case of suicide involving a heavily decorated combat veteran who was struggling with PTSD and other issues", CNN reported.
