Authorities Dispel Connection to Another Attack in New Orleans

The driver linked to the explosion of the Tesla Cybertruck in front of a Donald Trump hotel in Las Vegas left two suicide letters.

They were found on his phone, in which he accused the United States of being led by «weak and insensitive leadership,» authorities reported.

«It’s time to wake up (…) we are being led by weak and insensitive leadership that has only served to enrich itself,» one of the excerpts from the letters reads.

These letters were shared with the press on Friday by the assistant sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, Dori Koren.

The alleged responsible party for the explosion, an active member of the U.S. Army named Matthew Livelsberger, explained throughout the writings that his goal was not to commit a «terrorist attack.»

Rather, it was intended as «a wake-up call,» the agent added.

«Americans only pay attention to shows and violence,» he detailed.

«What better way to get my point across than with a show of fireworks and explosives?» one of the letters read, collected by the authorities.

Why Did He Shoot?

Matthew Livelsberger also made it clear that he needed to clear his mind from the people he had lost and relieve the burden of all the lives he had taken, the agent specified.

The driver linked to this incident, which left seven injured on January 1st, shot himself in the head before making the vehicle explode.

This was done using a combination of fireworks, gasoline tanks, and fuel found in the rear of the vehicle, according to the police version.

The vehicle was loaded with gas cylinders, camping fuel, and high-caliber mortars.

What Is Known About the Attack in Las Vegas?

While the Cybertruck was rented in Colorado through the Turo platform (which has a similar rental system between people like Airbnb), the company confirmed in a statement.

The Tesla Cybertruck explosion occurred after Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, 42, in New Orleans rammed a van, also rented through Turo, into a crowd, killing at least 14 people before police shot him dead.

Both Livelsberger and Jabbar were part of the same Army base in North Carolina, then known as Fort Bragg.

However, officials claim that there is no overlap in their assignments at the base and dismiss any correlation between the two events.
