Elon Musk said Sunday he planned to upgrade his security after a left-wing German magazine labeled him an enemy of the people.

Musk held a town hall discussion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Sunday in support of former President Donald Trump’s candidacy. While talking to the crowd, Musk commented on the heightened political atmosphere as the nation approached the November presidential election.

He noted he was recently on the cover of Der Spiegel, which labeled him “Public Enemy No. 2” — the first being Trump.

“I’m like, enemy number 2 of what? Uh, democracy? I mean I’m pro-democracy. I’m literally trying to uphold the Constitution and ensure we have a free and fair election,” Musk said, eliciting applause from the crowd.

“I’m definitely upgrading my security. Guess I better cancel that open-car parade,” Musk said, a seeming nod to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The SpaceX CEO said he was a “little shook” by the “level of vitriolic hatred on the left.” …

The Left is going to try to kill Trump and Musk. Again and again and again until they succeed.

Either (much less both) should precipitate a civil war, but I don't know if it would.

He definitely NEEDS strong security. He’s a national treasure and the leftists and neocons despise him because he, in essence, stands in their way.

These vermin need to be taken out, with extreme prejudice.

I don’t know either... but I think we’re close to critical mass on that.

Just wanted to point out that the phrase “leftists and neocons” is redundant. The notion of a “neoconservative” as a liberal convert to conservatism (somehow) is a fraud of course, perpetrated by the late Irving Kristol.

That’s irrelevant once the left starts it in earnest.

“level of vitriolic hatred on the left.”

Which they call tolerance and inclusivity. They are exactly the opposite of all the flattering names they have for themselves.

When a tabloid tacitly issues a demand for an assassination, what’s the remedy?

Just being rhetorical...

If given the opportunity, hopefully some of the efficiency and government is to pull all US bases from Germany.

They’ll be fine

Geez. Almost forty years since the Berlin Wall came down and the Krauts have gone Nazi again.

Boy Churchill was right; “The Hun is either at your feet or at your throat’’.

Only “a little shook”. They made it plain how far they are willing to go.

“Enemy of the people” usually used as a justification for murder. The Romans, with their long tradition of law, specified that Christians were the “enemies of mankind” to justify their murder.

The US has no allies.

Our Deep State has plenty.

Europe, not just Germany, has been going this way for quite a while.

The EU didn’t try to hide it.

Few paid attention.
