Elon Musk’s father Errol Musk has said that he fears for his son’s life and that he could be assassinated, after threats by super political personalities.
The 77-year-old Errol Musk questioned a recent New Yorker piece that asserted the influence of the CEO of Tesla on government choices regarding Ukraine, social media, and electric automobiles.
The paper also emphasised the significance of Starlink satellites from SpaceX in the conflict in Ukraine.
US President Joe Biden suggested that Musk’s contacts with foreign nations are “worthy of being looked at” after Musk bought Twitter last year.
Reacting to The New Yorker’s piece titled ‘Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule’, Errol told The Sun: “It’s a hit job, a shadow government-sponsored opening salvo on Elon.”
“The artillery-like softening up of the enemy before the actual attack and preparing of the ever-submissive people for the attack,” he added.
When asked whether he feared the “shadow government” could assassinate Elon, he replied: “Yes.”
When Elon Musk paid $44 billion to acquire Twitter in October of last year, he faced a great deal of criticism. On the social networking site, which he just relaunched as X, he has been charged with permitting an increase in hate speech and misinformation.
