      When we rise up hopefully they will join us. If not oh well we will bring extra body bags.

          I just want him to feel like he can never trust anyone. No matter how much he pays his bodyguards, it would only take someone else offering a few of them just a little bit more to get him out of the way.

    Is the human shield kid a security professional too? By the time he’s 18 he will have 16 years of bodyguard experience, the perfect employee just like in those entry level job ads.

    It’s wild to me how Musk is proving (just like Trump is) how fundamentally weak and small he is.

    Fred Rogers never had to travel with a single bodyguard.

    Good. Stay lonely with the gang of dudes you have to pay to hang around you and whose only job is to keep people away from you.

    I just went to see a movie with a big group of friends and now getting a burger, before tonight I work on a creative project with some other friends who all really respect and appreciate each other’s talents.

    Something this fascist freak will never have.

    “Foundation Security” 🙄

    Probably related to the Foundation series from Isaac Asimov and Musk’s absurd idea that he is remotely a figure in some such space story.

          You misunderstand him. When he said that space conquest would have casualties, he was thinking about NPCs. He’s the Player1 in this universe. Contrary to all of us, he’s not expandable: the game would instantly ends.

      He’s named after a character called The Elon from Werner Von Braun’s sci-fi book called The Mars Project

      We should feed his paranoia. Everyone should start messaging him on Twitter warning him of the prospect of mosquito-sized suicide drone assassins. Warn him there are rumors that he is the target of a group developing this technology.

      Let’s see if we can drive him truly mad. We’ll turn him into a proper Howard Hughes in no time. He’ll lock himself in a hermetically sealed bunker 24/7. And that’s when the real demons kick in…

    Any history buffs?

    Is there any similarities to Praetorian Guard with the rise of private security for these rich?

    Like wasn’t Rome at some point actually controlled by Praetorian Guards in secret because they were so powerful that the emperors couldn’t defy them.

      In Musk’s case they would be Pretorian Guards
