Elon Musk Reveals Fear of Assassination After Endorsing Trump
After publicly endorsing and campaigning for former President Donald Trump, Elon Musk has revealed his fear of being a target for assassination. The shocking revelation came to light in a series of texts released as part of Musk’s child custody lawsuit with Ashley St. Clair, with whom he shares a son.
In the texts, Musk expressed his concerns about his safety while traveling to see St. Clair and their infant son. In one message, Musk told St. Clair, “I look forward to seeing you and him this weekend,” before disclosing, “I get credible death threats. I’m #2 after Trump for assassination.”
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO went on to emphasize the importance of security, stating, “If I make a mistake on security, [our son] will never know his father,” and urging St. Clair to prioritize safety over sentiment. He also noted the necessity of keeping his name off their son’s birth certificate for security reasons, citing the mantra, “Only the paranoid survive.”
The revelation of Musk’s fears sheds light on the intense scrutiny and potential dangers faced by public figures, especially those who align themselves with controversial political figures like Trump. Despite his concerns, Musk continues to be a prominent figure in the tech and business world, making groundbreaking advancements in electric vehicles, space exploration, and renewable energy.
As Musk navigates the challenges of balancing his high-profile career with his personal life, the threat of assassination remains a stark reminder of the risks that come with fame and influence. Whether or not Musk’s fears are justified, his candid disclosure serves as a sobering reminder of the realities of living in the public eye.
