What is anti-gravity? FBI confirms Cybertruck bomber sent email to retired intelligence officer Sam Shoemate about weaponizing technology

The FBI recently confirmed that Matthew Livelsberger, accused of blowing up a Cybertruck outside Donald Trump's Nevada hotel on New Year's Day, sent an email to retired intelligence officer Sam Shoemate detailing his reasoning.

Special Agent Spencer Evans confirmed the existence of the email, which many dubbed Livelsberger's manifesto, in a press conference live-streamed on Las Vegas Metropolitan Police's YouTube page on January 7. The email was explored in depth during Sam Shoemate's appearance on Shawn Ryan's podcast, Shawn Ryan Show, on January 4, 2024.

"So we have confirmed that the document he sent to the podcast, we know that he was the one that sent the document. That's correct," Evans said during the press conference.

In the email, Livelsberger alleged that the drones seen over New Jersey were deployed by China using anti-gravity. According to the International Defense, Security & Technology's website, antigravity is described as "a hypothetical phenomenon of creating a place or object that is free from the force of gravity."

Cybertruck bomber claimed the attack was "not a terrorist attack, but a wake-up call"

A Tesla Cybertruck parked outside Donald Trump's hotel in Nevada exploded on New Year's Day, injuring seven bystanders. Matthew Livelsberger, the 37-year-old responsible for the Cybertruck attack, reportedly killed himself before the bombing. According to ABC News, Matthew Livelsberger was an active-duty US Green Beret soldier who first enlisted in the army in 2006.

In a note found on his phone following the Cybertruck attack, Livelsberger claimed the attack was "not a terrorist attack, but a wake-up call," as reported by AP News.

“This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives? Why did I personally do it now? I needed to cleanse my mind of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took," he wrote.

He added that America was being led by "weak and feckless leadership" who only wanted to profit themselves. Livelsberger also claimed that the country was "terminally ill" and heading towards collapse, adding the Cybertruck bombing was to make people pay attention.

In his email manifesto, Livelsberger alleged that China and the US had developed aircraft using advanced technology like "gravitic propulsion systems." He claimed these alleged machines were the myriad of drones that New Jersey residents have reported seeing since November.

"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."

While the FBI confirmed that Livelsberger sent Shoemate the email, it added that the contents of the email have yet to be verified. During the recent live-streamed press conference, special agent Evans added:

"The only thing that, out of the abundance of caution in as much as there's Department of Defense equities that speak to sources and methods or something else that would endanger folks overseas, that's not being released. But, beyond that, we haven't vetted any of his writings to determine what's legitimate and what was in his own head."

Following the attack, Tesla owner Elon Musk reassured the public via a post on X that the Cybertruck blew up due to "very large fireworks and/or a bomb," adding the vehicles had no issues that would lead to detonation. He also added the "whole Tesla senior team" is investigating the matter in another social media post on January 1.
