Las Vegas Cybertruck blast suspect Matthew Livelsberger participated in a military TV reality competition for the History Channel called “The Ultimate Soldier Challenge.”
Seven people were injured, and Livelsberger was killed in the Cybertruck explosion on New Year’s Day outside of Trump International Hotel Las Vegas.
Livelsberger reportedly shot himself before igniting fireworks and fuel that was in the back of his rented Cybertruck.
According to Inside Edition, “Livelsberger and his Green Beret partner took on two teams in a series of military challenges. He talked about his love of guns. At one point, Livelsberger had to stop production due to heat exhaustion.”
Inside Edition aired footage from Livelsberger’s appearance on the show in 2013.

Livelsberger, an active-duty Army soldier, wrote about his motivations for the blast in notes contained in his phone, according to law enforcement.
Las Vegas Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren said Livelsberger claimed his actions were a “wake-up call” and not a terrorist attack.
The soldier claimed that the United States is being led by the “weak” and people seeking to “enrich themselves.”
Two of Livelsberger’s letters have been released to the public.

“You’ll see that he actually calls it a stunt, in one of these documents that we’re going to release to you, that he was trying to get the attention of the American people because he was upset about a number of different things,” Sheriff Kevin McMahill of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said during Friday’s briefing.
A manifesto believed to be from Livelsberger was also sent to retired U.S. Army intelligence officer Sam Shoemate days before the blast.
The email read as follows:
“In case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexico border I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1JAN and keep my identity private until then.
“First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.
“What we have been seeing with “drones” is the operational use of gravitic propulsion systems powered aircraft by most recently China in the east coast, but throughout history, the US. Only we and China have this capability. Our OPEN location for this activity in the box is below.
“China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated coms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.
“The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.
“USG needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast
“I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED. I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me.
“I have knowledge of this program and also war crimes that were covered up during airstrikes in Nimruz province Afghanistan in 2019 by the admin, DoD, DEA and CIA. I conducted targeting for these strikes of over 125 buildings (65 were struck because of CIVCAS) that killed hundreds of civilians in a single day. USFORA continued strikes after spotting civilians on initial ISR, it was supposed to take 6 minutes and scramble all aircraft in CENTCOM. The UN basically called these war crimes, but the administration made them disappear. I was part of that cover-up with USFORA and Agent [Redacted] of the DEA. So I don’t know if my abduction attempt is related to either. I worked with GEN Millers 10 staff on this as well as the response to Bala Murghab. AOB-S Commander at the time. [Redacted] can validate this.
“You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.
“For vetting my Linkedin is Matt Berg or Matthew Livelsberger, an active duty 18Z out of 1-10 my profile is public. I have an active TSSCI with UAP USAP access.”
