World’s Richest, Elon Musk Worries About Assassination Attack On Him, Says…
Twitter’s Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk, Saturday, stated the possibility of being assassinated and described it as “significant”.
Musk stated this to listeners during an audio discussion on Twitter Spaces explaining that he “certainly” would not “be doing any open-air automobile parades…”
A significant portion of Musk’s discussion on Twitter Spaces focused on the “Twitter Files,” a collection of internal documents made public by writer Matt Taibbi on Friday.
Taibbi’s thread included files that showed Joe Biden’s team instructing Twitter employees to remove specific political content in October 2020, just weeks before he was elected US President.
Screenshots of correspondence showed Twitter staffers purposefully suspending, banning, or censoring individuals who commented on the debate about the contents of Mr. Biden’s son Hunter’s laptop.

Responding to a question asked of him by an audience, Musk said: “Frankly the risk of something bad happening to me, or even literally being shot, is quite significant.
“It’s not that hard to kill somebody if you wanted to, so hopefully they don’t, and fate smiles upon the situation with me and it does not happen … There’s definitely some risk there.”
” added that “at the end of the day, we just want to have a future where we’re not oppressed”.
He said: “[Where] our speech is not suppressed, and we can say what we want to say without fear of reprisals.
“As long as you’re not really causing harm to somebody else, then you should be allowed to say what you want.”
