X/Twitter owner Elon Musk says he is increasing his security after receiving “vitriolic” threats for endorsing president Trump.
Appearing at a town hall event in Pittsburgh Sunday, Musk told the crowd about being pictured on the cover of Der Spiegel magazine, which labeled him ‘Public Enemy No. 2’ – behind Trump.
German SPIEGEL hates freedom.
Mainstream journalism is a complete joke – citizen journalism is the future. Thank god, Elon Musk bought Twitter and made it X.

“I’m like, enemy number 2 of what? Uh, democracy?” Musk told the crowd, adding “I mean I’m pro-democracy. I’m literally trying to uphold the Constitution and ensure we have a free and fair election.”
Musk added, “I’m definitely upgrading my security,” quipping “Guess I better cancel that open-car parade.”
The Tesla CEO admitted that he is a “little shook” by the “level of vitriolic hatred on the left.”
🚨ELON MUSK: "I hope I don't get shot. I was just on a German magazine saying I was 'enemy number two.' Enemy number two of what? I'm definitely upgrading my security. Maybe I should put an inflatable dummy of me in a motorcade. Just troll them." 😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/bxocA7K5Mt — Autism Capital 🧩 (@AutismCapital) October 20, 2024
“They claim they’re tolerant. And yet, they’re incredibly intolerant and spewing hate,”Musk said, adding “Whereas on the right I see people who tend to regard people on the left as, well, misguided. But they don’t hate them.”
“But the amount of hate coming from the left is like, wow, next level,” he continued.
Here’s the full event:
Musk is no stranger to threats since taking over Twitter in an effort to preserve free speech.
Musk has come under sustained attack since coming out for Trump.
Deranged leftists, such as Mark Cuban, are openly advocating sanctioning Musk’s companies because of his political opinions.
This is insane. Joe Scarborough and Mark Cuban are openly arguing that Elon Musk deserves to have his businesses punished because of his political opinions.
It really is Donald Trump or communism. pic.twitter.com/ezTRIBJVFF — 🇺🇸Travis🇺🇸 (@Travis_4_Trump) October 19, 2024
Musk has repeatedly warned that if Trump doesn’t win the election, it could be the last and that civilisation is on the line.

Buy em all, fire em all.
At least he can hire some “real” people as opposed to fed which does DEI and climate changers...no ex military need apply.
They call Trump a Fascist and yet they will tolerate no opposing opinions which was a hallmark of the German and Italian Fascist.
Opposing opinions need not apply.
If you have an opinion different than the approved Democrat Party Opinion you sir are a Fascist.
Der Spiegel is naming two very popular Americans as the number one and number two enemies? #1 the former and soon to be sitting President of the USA and #2 the wealthiest man in the world.
Very interesting. Apparently the lessons of WWII have worn off on these dummbkopfs.
Like Trump, the left loved him until he stood up for free speech and American exceptionalism
yup. no question.
What a DISGUSTING thing to say...like begging for someone to hurt him!!
I hate the left
This has me thinking... When Trump wins, Musk will be a target from that moment on. Very sad.
“At least he can hire some “real” people as opposed to fed which does DEI and climate changers...no ex military need apply.”

Ex military who want to work in the federal government are given point advantages and preferred interview ranking. There’s certainly no bias against former military, so long as they served honorably.
So true!
Not sure about CUBAN’S SANITY anymore
The GREEN EYED MOMNSTER has taken over Mark Cuban!!!
“Not sure about CUBAN’S SANITY anymore”
Not sure about Cuban’s gender identity any more. Recently he’s been looking like a used-up old queen. Was it Elon who put pics of Rachel Maddow and Mark Cuban next to each other? Separated at birth.
I know..I was in that category when I got my federal job in 1971. Point is SS among other agencies don’t want to hire patriotic, rough ex military over DEI types.
