In a surprising social media post on Saturday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk divulged that he had experienced two separate assassination attempts over the past eight months. Musk's revelation came shortly after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt, causing concerns about the escalating risks faced by public figures.

"Dangerous times ahead," Musk expressed on X (formerly Twitter). "Two people (separate occasions) have already tried to kill me in the past 8 months. They were arrested with guns about 20 mins drive from Tesla HQ in Texas."

This shocking statement from the tech billionaire followed his endorsement of Donald Trump as the next president. Musk disclosed his support, mentioning his campaign donation and drawing a comparison to Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate embodying toughness.

It is not the first time that Musk has voiced concerns about potential assassination attempts. In 2022, he alleged that reporters sharing his real-time location data were essentially revealing "assassination coordinates." Consequently, these journalist accounts were then banned from X, a platform owned by Musk himself.

Furthermore, Musk has faced threats in the past, particularly from Dmitry Rogozin, the former chief of the Russian space agency. Responding to these threats, Musk stated, "If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowin ya."

The current timing of Musk's revelation, following Trump's assassination attempt, fueled his criticism of the Secret Service. Musk took to social media to express his discontent, questioning their competency and suggesting that the leadership should step down. Additionally, Musk seized the opportunity to mock the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, highlighting her previous role as a senior director at snack and beverage giant, PepsiCo.

As the world grapples with increased political tensions and heightened security concerns, Musk's revelation serves as a stark reminder of the precarious position faced by influential figures. The incidents he described accentuate the urgency for improved security measures and vigilant protection for those in the public eye.

It remains to be seen how authorities will respond to Musk's claims, and whether they will initiate further investigations into the reported assassination attempts. Nevertheless, Musk's revelations will undoubtedly spark a broader discourse on the safety and security of high-profile individuals in today's uncertain world.
