Heartbreaking motive of Cybertruck bomber who shot himself outside Trump hotel days after haunting posts

THE decorated Green Beret who exploded a Tesla Cybertruck on New Year’s Day and shot himself in the head was suffering from PTSD, investigators have revealed.

Matthew Livelsberger, 37, had been dumped by his wife just days before he drove the fuel-cannister-filled Tesla to the doorstep of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In disturbing posts, the soldier claimed the bombing wasn’t a terror attack, but a way to “cleanse his mind” of the brothers he had lost.

He composed, “This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake-up call,” on the notes app on his phone.

“Americans are solely interested in violence and show. What better method to convey my message than with a fireworks and explosions stunt?

He went on to say he was carrying out the shocking act “to cleanse my mind of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.”

The firebomb, triggered around 9 am, injured seven pedestrians and sparked fresh terror fears because it came just hours after deranged ISIS admirer and Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar murdered 14 people in New Orleans.

However, according to the latest update, law enforcement has found no connection between the two incidents other than superficial similarities.

Investigators disclosed Livelsberger was a terrible victim of mental health issues during a somber press briefing on Friday.

Heartbroken former partners of the fallen soldier have given an inside look at his final days before the bombing.

His wife, with whom he shared a child, reportedly said she wanted to leave him six days before he died by suicide, sources told theNew York Post.

She had declared their relationship was finished and accused him of infidelity.

Alicia Arritt, who dated Livelsberger from 2018 to 2021, revealed the fallen soldier got a brain injury during his years of service in the Army.

This was not an act of terrorism.

In an emotional interview with The Denver Gazette, she described him as “the kindest man I ever knew” and said, “He got me through a difficult time. “

Days before his death, Livelsberger made the now-concerning decision to reach out to Arritt and show off the Cybertruck he had just picked up.

On December 29, he texted his ex to say that driving the Tesla made him “feel like Batman” and sent pictures of the ride to say, “It’s the s**t.”

Who was Shamsud Din Jabbar?

THE man police suspect drove his car into a crowd of New Year’s Eve revellers in New Orleans was 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar.

Before being shot dead by police, he is thought to have killed 14 people in what officials are looking into as a terrorist act.

More information about the Texas-born US Army veteran is coming to light.

After being arrested for misdemeanor theft in Katy, Texas, in 2002, Jabbar had a criminal record.

In 2005, he was again detained for operating a vehicle with a revoked license.

According to documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, Jabbar has a real estate license valid from 2019 to February 2021.

Jabbar identified himself as a Property Manager at Blue Meadow Properties and a Team Lead for the Midas Group in a May 12, 2020, YouTube video.

He said that although he was residing in Houston at the time of the video, he was born and reared in Beaumont, Texas.

Jabbar said he was an IT specialist from 2007 to 2015 and a human resources professional during his ten years in the Army.

Between 2009 and 2010, he was stationed in Afghanistan.

According to the Army, he was an IT specialist in the Army Reserve from 2015 to 2020.

Jabbar had two wives before becoming a father to two girls.

Although the date of his second divorce is unknown, court documents indicate that a restraining order was issued against him in 2020.

According to a court filing the suspect made in August 2022 as part of a divorce case, the New York Times stated that he earned roughly $120,000 year working for the accountancy firm Deloitte.

According to the FBI, after the attack, police discovered an ISIS flag inside the vehicle after it had been fastened to a pole on the trailer hitch.

According to the New York Times, Jabbar was “being all crazy” according to his ex-wife’s new spouse, who had only converted to Islam a year prior.

Arritt continued to have a casual conversation with Livelsberger but was left wondering why he chose to randomly reach out.

Livelsberger’s heartbroken father, Roger, said his son “loved the Army and loved America,”CBS Newsreported.

He had been stationed in Germany working for the special forces but was on an approved leave when he died.

When he was due to return, he instead rented the Tesla, bought two guns, and took a 1,000-mile journey from his home in Denver, Colorado, to Las Vegas.

COINCIDENTAL SIMILARITIES

Shortly after the Cybertruck explosion, several similarities were pointed out between it and the New Orleans terrorist attack and between Livelsberger and Jabbar, who was also a US Army veteran.

On Friday, the FBI admitted the Cybertruck bomber used the same rental service as Jabbar, who got a Chevrolet Silverado so he could plow through New Year’s partiers.

However, they said the two had no relationship as they uncovered notes written by Livelsberger that stated his death wasn’t a terrorist attack.
