NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre questioned the deadly attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas amid his own confusion over the incidents.
New Year's Eve revelry quickly turned to terror in the early hours of Wednesday when a U.S. Army veteran plowed a truck into a celebrating crowd on New Orleans' infamous Bourbon Street, leaving 14 dead and at least 35 injured.
Hours later, Matthew Livelsberger blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, injuring seven victims in the attack. Livelsberger, 37, shot himself in the head when improvised explosives he planted exploded around him, leaving his body charred beyond recognition.
In the wake of the devastating attacks, Favre, a former Super Bowl-winning quarterback, expressed skepticism to his followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.
'What's going on with the history of New Orleans and the Trump Hotel? Lots of information and hard to sift through to see what's real!' the former Green Bay Packers star wrote.
Many of his followers seemed to share Favre's confusion, with one claiming that “the FBI is covering it up as best they can.”

Another alleged that “they”, appearing to refer to national authorities, want to confuse the public.
'If you solve it (sic), mk please!!! “My brain can't take any more after what's happened this week,” pleaded one bewildered social media user.
“Officials say the two attacks are not related, but the two guys were former soldiers who served together at Fort Bragg in the past,” another stated.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a U.S. citizen born and raised in Texas, carried out the deadly attack in New Orleans.
Meanwhile, law enforcement sources identified Livelsberger as the shooter in Wednesday's attack in Las Vegas.
He served more than 19 years in the military, 18 of which were spent in the Special Forces, according to his LinkedIn profile. His current position was listed as Manager of Remote and Autonomous Systems, which he had only been there for three months.
Law enforcement sources revealed that Livelsberger had previously served on the same military base as New Orleans terrorist Jabbar. Police have not confirmed whether the couple knew each other.
Both Army veteran Jabbar and Green Beret Livelsberger received training at Fort Liberty, the nation's largest base formerly known as Fort Bragg, in North Carolina.
An explosive explosion killed one person and injured half a dozen others when it went off outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

An official told the Associated Press that there is no overlap in their assignments at the base, which has a population of about 47,000 active-duty troops and is home to multiple Army special operations units.
DailyMail.com sent a list of detailed questions to Fort Liberty, including whether they had opened an investigation into the men's time there, but it was directed to the Pentagon.
The Pentagon also did not respond to specific questions from DailyMail.com about the time the two men spent at Fort Liberty. Instead, they provided a prior statement about the suspects' military background.
“Due to ongoing investigations, we will not be providing any additional information at this time,” the Pentagon said.
Las Vegas Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said that while both men served in Afghanistan in 2009, possible ties between the two were still under investigation.
“We don't have any evidence that they were in the same province of Afghanistan, in the same location or in the same unit,” McMahill said, via fox news. “Again, there is something else that remains under investigation.”

Initially reports pointed to a possible connection between the two, since both attackers were soldiers who rented cars on the Turo application before unleashing the massacre.
However, the FBI has said that veteran Jabbar likely acted alone when, inspired by ISIS, he drove a van into a crowd of New Year's revelers in New Orleans' French Quarter.
Christopher Raia, deputy assistant director of the FBI's counterterrorism division, stressed that there was no indication of a connection between the New Orleans attack and Wednesday's explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck packed with explosives outside Trump's hotel in Las Vegas.
Officials are working to determine a possible motive for Livelsberger's actions in Las Vegas.
