TIL Elon Musk travels with as many as 20 bodyguards

Remember when UHC got shot, musk started using one of his children as a human shield. He would often hold the shield in front of him, Everytime he does a press release

I mean... There is a non-zero chance he might get Luigied....

man i can only dream

You can still do it!

it's almost like championing certain 'activists' and then being shocked when people don't like you is a predictable outcome. who'd have thought.

Not xSecurity?

XeXuriXy
- X2AE, and sidareal

“Foundation Security” 🙄

Probably related to the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov and Musk’s absurd idea that he is remotely a figure in some such space story.

Looks like his ketamine dealer has good stuff these days
He's named after a character called The Elon from Werner Von Braun's sci-fi book called The Mars Project
https://youtu.be/9y-erGt0LsU
Asimov has too much empathy for Elmo
He probably identifies with The Mule.
iirc he's named after some space serial character. I do wish he'd just fuck off to space.
- Thats why he names his children like the way he does
- I say next time Musk wants to get a permit to fly one of his Starship test flights, we require he be riding on the thing.

Good. Stay lonely with the gang of dudes you have to pay to hang around you and whose only job is to keep people away from you.

I just went to see a movie with a big group of friends and now getting a burger, before tonight I work on a creative project with some other friends who all really respect and appreciate each other's talents.

Something this fascist freak will never have.

Ketamine is making him paranoid

And cocaine, I believe he consumes both,.with dashes of shrooms from time to time
Nah. There are legit people out to get him. At least, there should be.

Elon Musk, father of 14 children was basically never seen with his kids until a CEO was shot. Now he always travels with at least one portable meat shield.

Father of 14 known children. The down low is apparently he pays women one million dollars to bear his child and she has to sign a non-disclosure agreement that she won't tell people it is his baby.
He is on record saying he wants to make a legion. That is around five thousand babies. He is one of the richest men in the world so this is within his reach. I am going to go throw up now.
- A million dollars? It's sad those women don't even realize what a paltry sum of money that is. You become a billionaires concubine, and all you get is enough money to pay for a house in a low cost area, and food/medical bills/clothes/school/activities for like maybe five years at most, then you get to find a job and become a single mother that works full time. And you better be careful with your choice of housing, taxes are due every year
- That's not bad, I wish my rectum was fertile.
"Hey Kelvar, hop on daddy's shoulders, time to go to work!"

Is it fair to call someone who wants to kill the richest Nazi in the world, who wants to destroy western democracy and rule the world, a maniac?

That's what happens when you turn into a POS. Ask the politicians.

It is good to know this guy is terrified of the consequences of his own actions. I'm sure his hired meat shield will stop and mitigate some threats. I doubt they will stop and mitigate them all.

We should feed his paranoia. Everyone should start messaging him on Twitter warning him of the prospect of mosquito-sized suicide drone assassins. Warn him there are rumors that he is the target of a group developing this technology.
Let's see if we can drive him truly mad. We'll turn him into a proper Howard Hughes in no time. He'll lock himself in a hermetically sealed bunker 24/7. And that's when the real demons kick in....
Axiom of modern warfare, actually. Throw enough shit at a problem and it will stop being a problem.
- Modern warfare is surely more targeted? Precision strikes using overwhelming technical superiority. Throwing bodies at the problem is like WW1 warfare.

Luigi, a job creator

We need to create a lot more jobs.
- There are a lot of jobs for Luigi.
When we rise up hopefully they will join us. If not oh well we will bring extra body bags.
Allegefly. He was with me in san Francisco at the time of the shooting.

20 bodyguards and 1 child human shield.

Has he tried not being a human pile of feces?

Self-improvement is a poor man’s game.
- If you have a dominance-oriented worldview, being less shitty than your clout allows you to get away with is preemptively surrendering. Imposing your full shittiness on the world is dominance.
  The former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is said to have not changed his socks daily, seeing imposing his stench on underlings and those wishing to deal with him as a power flex.
Who would dare question his nobility? Guy has so much money not a person around him is going to want to risk telling money bags himself he's not the greatest person on earth.
The reason: they either depend on him for money or if they don't then they know he's emotionally unstable enough to turn this into a monetary problem with lawsuits or political fuckery.
Most people have seen how things go when they talk to their insane MAGA uncle about reality. Now just imagine if he had all day to fuck around, was constantly taking drugs and was unimaginably wealthy.
It's always funny when people assume the ultra wealthy have human shame
Nope

To be fair, one could argue that that is a cherished Afrikaner cultural tradition.

Good to see that Elmo lives in fear of consequences. I hope the cunt can't have a crap in peace. His body guards are on the wrong side of history, and ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Imagine being such a loser that the only job you qualify for is taking a bullet for the worst member of the parasite class.

And that’s just to protect him from his kids.

Is the human shield kid a security professional too? By the time he's 18 he will have 16 years of bodyguard experience, the perfect employee just like in those entry level job ads.

For legal purposes he's a volunteer
- For tax purposes, he's office equipment.

Who is going to protect him from his own security personnel?

Hopefully he just vets them by asking grok "should I hire these guys"
Hopefully no one.
Someone should send him a historical overview of Rome's Praetorian Guard.
- please don't do that
  send it to the bodyguards instead
Yeah, 20 is about the point at which you’re actually making it easier for a nut job with a gun to get access to you.
- That's why he had a human shield with him
Why would he need protection from them? When was the last time security personnel offed the person they were hired to protect?
- 1989, when Nicolae Ceasescu got killed by the Romanian Army officers he ran to for protection.
- You're right. Think about this. On January 6, 2021, Trump was illegally inciting an insurrection. He was surrounded by Secret Service agents who are only ostensibly paid to protect him.
  Secret Service agents first oath is to defend the Constitution. So, they actually had a primary duty that day, not to protect Trump, but to arrest him.
  They had all sworn a solemn oath that required them to take action against Trump, but nobody did anything of the sort. In fact, they famously broke the law by not retaining the information from their phones from that day.
- JFK

When you're the face of what a large number of people see as what is wrong with the world, having lots of security only make sense.

What's alarming to me is that this shows me they don't experience fear. It sounds like to them, it's an inconvenience.

So if they can't be motivated by fear, are they actually motivated by money?

I don't think so. I think they're motivated by power. Wealth has no meaning to them - you can observe the behaviors of a lot of them (with like extremely rare exceptions and they are usually the only ones not born into wealth) and they don't match up with enjoying life.

They don't seem to experience joy. So if they don't experience any emotion, that gives them a pretty concrete diagnosis of sociopathy doesn't it? So, we have the worst of the worst humans doing as much damage to the world as possible because they can't feel.

Yeah, very concrete diagnosis of sociopathy. Except that diagnosis doesn't exist. Please, leave the diagnosis to professionals. Not knowing the correct name is the first sign you shouldn't be doing it.
- Antisocial personality disorder doesn't exactly roll off the tounge and not nearly enough people know what it refers to.

In the olden times, it was a big point of pride of American politics that a lot of people didn't want to kill the leaders. It was sort of assumed that in feudal style European politics, of course the common people kind of wanted to kill you, because you were threatening their safety and taking their stuff. In America, the way we did things was to earn the respect of the people you governed. The people actually wanted this person to be in charge. Why would I shoot that guy? That's who we picked, we like him.

Of course there are some caveats (slavery large among them). The reality never matched up to the ideal. But we're going back to where even the approximation of consent of the governed that we used to have, isn't assumed anymore. Fuckin bullshit

the only answer is to burn it all down and start over

Aspirationally kill. What a fucking turd of a human Elon is.

The people who wanted to "aspirationally" kill him were also "homicidal". This is valuable contextual information that tells the reader(/listener) additional things about the circumstances that they may not have realised before which gives them more insight into the situation so they can comprehend it better. Em dash.
- It gives context from an unreliable source, placing emphasis on him as a victim rather than the cause of the asymmetric living conditions that his lifestyle causes.
A turd that no matter how bad he fucks up including if he ever gets charged with child trafficking, that will always be wealthier than your entire family line will ever be in their lifetimes of hard work
He needs to be dragged into the streets and fear beaten into him

According to my sources (hitman series) this is low

His own security agency - sounds like a new Wagner in the making

Or Blackwater/Xe/Academi/whatever the Eric Prince mob are called these days. Or, indeed, the mercenary firms of his dear old homeland.
Hopefully he dies in a similar fashion to Yevgeny.
A super, poorly ran Wagner.
- So... Wagner?
Yep and you all are going to just meme about it as the billionaires make their personal armies
We do really deserve to be right where we are at now
- Sorry mate, but I'm not going to cross the pond to protest North American billionaires building their own privates armies, only to see my poor ass deported in a private-own penitentiary in the jungle. I'll protest my own power-hungry scumbad billionaires at home.

So dragon slayer is a job now?

I hope they're all as skillful and qualified as his DOGE goons.

Okay, I need 21 people...

i mean, unless he's got something special it's five people on him at a time and logistics support, three shifts a day.
- Okay, I need 21 people...
What if we just took out 1-2 body guards periodically, until nobody felt comfortable signing up to be his body guard?

I wonder how many body guards you have to hire until you start to think “hmm maybe if this many people wish me harm I must actually be being a dick, let’s change that!”

To be fair, that's not very representative of anything. If enough people know you exist, you'll eventually get a death threat.

Ohhh, poor baby. Maybe, this was entirely preventable? Just maybe?

Honestly If I had that much money, I would be doing much more stupid shit.

If that's not enough he will pick one of his 14 children as a human shield
I would hope and expect you aren't nearly as evil as a billionaire who can easily solve problems for pocket change but chooses not to.
- They said "stupid", not "evil"
  Although I'd argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.
I would build homes, trains, bus lines, and green power.
And also make sure the water fountains in the park actually work year round.
I would buy Neuschwanstein and finish decorating it the way Ludwig wanted it.

His security should let him take one to the dome so he becomes a vegetable. He'll be alot easier to protect wgen he lives in a hospital bed

I don't think body guards are going to help when someone sends a swarm of drones his way.

I’m shocked this hasn’t happened yet. All the pieces are there, but nobody has pulled the proverbial/literal trigger on it yet.
- DJI even removed the geofences with a firmware update like three days before the in auguration. I have no idea how we're still in this clown world either.
- He probably has an EMP gun or something that would just knock them out of the sky. One would also need to construct every piece of the drone themselves from scratch to avoid having parts traced. Ala, Luigi and his 3D printed gun. Just don’t travel or run errands with your 3D printer, your “Autonomous Drone Swarms for Dummies” book, or your manifesto on your person like some kind of cartoonishly stupid villain…

Musk = POS Nazi.

Only 20 huh

Man, XSecurity would be such a banger name. Read it like Execurity (a word play on Exec and Security).

Or like ex-security.

People should start to identify, persuade or remove people at mid-management levels. They get paid peanuts and have no security details, but they play key roles in executing facists orders.

Pulled from the high school boy harem he keeps, Forbes declared them 2025’s “20 security professionals under 20”
