Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has responded on Friday to the alleged manifesto of U.S. Army soldier Matthew Livelsberger in the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas.
Newsweek has reached out to Greene’s office via email for comment on Saturday afternoon.
Why It Matters
Firework mortars and camp fuel canisters were found inside the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump‘s Las Vegas hotel early Wednesday. The blast resulted in a single casualty, the suspect inside the vehicle, and sparked national attention and a thorough investigation into potential terrorism.
Investigators are still determining Livelsberger’s motives for detonating the explosives outside the hotel, with his alleged manifesto, emailed to retired U.S. Army intelligence officer Sam Shoemate, providing some clues.

Responding to a post on X, formerly Twitter, from podcaster Shawn Ryan that showed a screenshot of the email of Livelsberger’s alleged manifesto that was sent to Shoemate, Greene wrote that it “changes everything.”
While it is unclear what Greene exactly meant in her post, she previously took to X to share her thoughts on the incident.
Before Livelsberger’s body was identified to be inside the charred Cybertruck, the congresswoman wrote: “It is becoming increasingly obvious that the terrorist attacks in New Orleans and the Las Vegas Trump Hotel are organized and connected. While we wait for more details, I’d like to point out that it’s insane to fund our enemies. [Mike] Johnson, [Chuck] Schumer, and [Mitch] McConnell gave $9B to Hamas and Biden gave $10B to Iran in 2024.”
