Soldier's Cybertruck Suicide Mission: Was it "Terrorism" or Just a Cry for Help?
Alright, so this whole "Green Beret blows up a Cybertruck at a Trump hotel" thing just keeps getting weirder. The LVMPD dropped their "after-action" report, and surprise, surprise, it's about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine.
The Classified Manifesto
The dude, Matthew Livelsberger, left a manifesto on his phone. Okay, standard operating procedure for anyone planning a "spectacle," I guess. But get this: the Department of War – yes, you read that right – declared the thing classified. Classified! What in the actual hell is going on?
So, a soldier uses a rented Cybertruck (of all things), fills it with fireworks and gas, and blows it up outside a Trump property. Six people injured. And the official line is... what, exactly? That it's a "premeditated vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack" but not terrorism? Give me a break. What's the difference these days, anyway?
And why is the Department of War involved? Are they worried about setting a precedent? Afraid other disgruntled soldiers might start using Elon's toys for… well, whatever the hell Livelsberger was trying to do?
"A Wake-Up Call"?
He left a note saying it wasn't terror-related, just a way to "cleanse" his mind and criticize the "feckless leadership" of a collapsing America. Right. Because blowing things up is totally the rational response to political disagreement. It's the kind of logic that makes you wonder what they're teaching these guys in Special Forces... besides how to handle explosives, offcourse.
"Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence," he wrote. "What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives."
Okay, I'll give him this much: he got attention. But what "point" did he actually make? That he's another disaffected, possibly mentally unstable, veteran with access to dangerous materials? That our society is so screwed up that this kind of thing is becoming almost… commonplace?
I mean, let's be real. It's not like this is the first time someone's used a vehicle as a weapon to make some kind of twisted statement. Remember that dude who drove through Charlottesville? Or that idiot who rammed the FBI building in Pittsburgh? What's the line between a "cry for help" and an act of terror these days, anyway? Is it just about the body count?
And one of his messages went to Shawn Ryan, an ex-Navy SEAL and CIA contractor. What was THAT about? Did Ryan know what Livelsberger was planning? Was he trying to talk him out of it? Or was he somehow involved? The report doesn't say, and I'm betting we'll never know the full story.
The Cybertruck Angle
And the Cybertruck! I can't help but fixate on the vehicle. It's like the perfect symbol for this whole mess: a futuristic, overhyped, ridiculously expensive toy being used for something so utterly destructive. It's like a twisted parody of American excess and technological hubris. Questions grow about soldier’s Tesla Cybertruck attack at Trump Las Vegas hotel. It's like a twisted parody of American excess and technological hubris.
The whole situation reminds me of that old saying about Nero fiddling while Rome burned... only this time, Nero's driving a Cybertruck filled with fireworks.
What a Goddamn Mess
Honestly, this whole thing stinks. The classified manifesto, the vague "not terrorism" label, the Department of War's involvement… it all points to a cover-up. They don't want us to know the full story, because the full story is probably even more disturbing than what they're telling us. And frankly, I'm not sure I even want to know anymore.
