Elon Musk Assassination Plot: Errol Musk Speaks Out on Growing Safety Concerns, Shadow Government Threat

Quincy Jon, Tech Times 04 September 2023, 02:09 pm

Errol Musk, Elon Musk's 77-year-old father, has expressed fears for his multibillionaire son's safety and the possibility of an assassination attempt. These worries follow a contentious piece on Elon Musk's impact on government decisions about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

According to The New Yorker, Pentagon officials compared the tech mogul Elon Musk to an "unelected official" and voiced concerns about his views on Vladimir Putin. The piece also emphasized the important role that Starlink satellites from SpaceX played in the Ukraine war.

The New Yorker article, "Elon Musk's Shadow Rule," was blasted by Errol Musk as a "hit job" and implied to be a part of a "shadow government-sponsored opening salvo" directed against his son Elon.

Elon Musk's father, as quoted by The Sun, described the write-up as "the artillery-like softening up of the enemy before the actual attack and preparing the ever-submissive people for the attack."

Errol was also asked whether he worried about Elon Musk's safety. He said "yes" because of the threat posed by the purported "shadow government."

However, the ties between Elon Musk and his father seem strained. The tech businessman, who owns and heads SpaceX and Tesla, called him a "terrible human being."

Elon Musk is currently facing US Justice Department legal battles and unfavorable media attention. In July, President Joe Biden suggested that Musk could be the subject of an investigation, saying that there are several ways to scrutinize the tech tycoon.

Last year, Elon Musk teased that he would "die in mysterious circumstances" after he argued with a Russian space official over SpaceX's provision of Starlink satellites to Ukrainian forces, according to Insider.

Elon Musk's Mounting Controversies

According to writer Ronan Farrow's "Elon Musk's Shadow Rule" piece in the New Yorker, Musk's "influence is more brazen and expansive" than prior interventions by affluent people in political matters.

It was released not long before the Department of Justice sued Musk's SpaceX for allegedly discriminating against asylum seekers and refugees during the recruiting process. Additionally, federal investigators are looking into Tesla's suspected use of corporate cash to construct Elon Musk's Texas property.

President Biden said in July that Elon Musk should undergo an investigation into the support he gained from a Saudi Arabian firm in purchasing X, then known as Twitter.

"Elon Musk's cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries are worthy of being looked at," said Biden, alluding to possible national security issues, as reported by The Sun.

Does Elon Musk Want to Control the World's Financial System?

In a separate report, Walter Isaacson, Elon Musk's official biographer, has written a biography that includes information about his plans for Twitter. He disclosed that the tech mogul had hoped to develop Twitter into an "everything app" that handled both business and social interactions. But because of resistance from his colleagues, Musk was ultimately fired from the endeavor.

Two decades ago, the new Twitter owner founded X.com, which he planned to develop into an "everything app". Later, X.com merged with PayPal.

Isaacson said that Elon Musk remains committed to this goal. He quoted Musk saying, "If you want to just be a niche player, PayPal is a better name, but if you want to take over the world's financial system, then X is the better name," as quoted in a report from WION.
