Elon Musk wins another victory for free speech, releasing The Twitter Files documenting internal discussions as well as contacts with politicians and law enforcement. Does this create a clear and present danger to Elon Musk himself?

The most disturbing question about the Twitter reveal is who is still REALLY in control? If Elon thinks that his “purchase” of Twitter makes him in charge, he is deluding himself. He has a tiger by the tail. The FBI, the CIA and God knows who else, won’t allow Matt Taibbi or Bari Weiss to get anymore info than they will permit them to get. The 4th branch of government, the intelligence branch IS THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT. Everybody else, Congress, SCOTUS, Media, Corporations are threading a very small needle to keep what they’ve got i.e. money and power.
No accountability for anyone makes everyone at risk. When all the laws are as flat as they are now, who will protect you from the devil when he turns toward YOU?
Could Twitter’s secret files be just the thing to keep American’s distracted while the deep state readies and refines their 2024 election fraud apparatus? That’s how I see it. Hearings? Commissions? Investigations? Accountability for crooks? Good grief!!! Once you see the truth, you can never UNSEE it.
If Musk is knocked off I hope his poison pill is to shutdown SpaceX and tell US to figure out how to get their astronauts & supplies to ISS.
Hey Scott, take off your blinders. The Hunter laptop from the get go was never hacked, stolen, or illicitly obtained. Hunter dropped it off, signed the agreement that after so many days of none payment for work the laptop became the property of the computer shop. Everything was legal. So twitless made up violation of hacking or stolen property as a pretext to have CIA/KGB lie it was “misinformation”.
Thanks for watching this, JC. I encourage you to watch it again and listen to what I actually said. Stay engaged, my friend. I’m glad you’re hear.
And today MSM reporters were suspended because they were tweeting in real time the location of Musk & family to the world, known as doxing, This is the equivalent of putting out a hit contract or a ‘wanted dead or alive’ poster on Musk.
Wonder how Scott would like all the radical liberal nut cases being provided with Scotts every movements, every public sighting, along with his family?
I’ve been watching and listening to the commentaries on the Twitter File dumps via the Roundtable Show on YT. There was only one person who honestly questioned their actions when they were debating about how they would ban Trump, and it was a junior staffer. The rest that were questioning were simply brainstorming based on their current rules. Elon inherited a dumpster fire, but he’s doing the right thing regardless of the death threats to him and his family. They’re even going after his children in public. These people have no moral center whatsoever.
I have been praying for Elon since he started releasing information.
Scott, I can only hope your seeming naivety/stupidity on this Epstein/Musk comparison is wholly feigned for some form of counterpoint, devil’s advocate purpose.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that a week or so ago, Musk apparently Tweeted out that should he be found dead, he did not kill himself, or words to that effect. So it is clear that he does understand the risks he is undertaking, and all I can say is that America so desperately needs the truth he is bringing forth!!!
Anyone, including and especially public figures, can be killed by assassination at any time. Anyone.
The Secret Service has said there’s little to nothing they can do about a lone wolf crazy who is willing to take out the POTUS and die in the attempt. See John Hinckley Jr. as an example. Hinckley nearly succeeded in killing Ronald Reagan. Hinckley foolishly (or fortunately) armed himself with a small .22 LR caliber handgun and still nearly killed Reagan. Had Hinckley known more about firearms and chosen a more lethal caliber he likely would have succeeded.
If the assassin wishes to live longer than the few seconds after making the attempt to assassinate someone, that picture changes dramatically.
The point here is that no one is immune from an assassination attempt.
Lone wolf actors who have not been foolish enough to let anyone know what they’re up to are very dangerous. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols are another example of such people.
In the case of a lone wolf type assassin the best you can hope for is to get the guy before he gets off his a fatal shot.
Now, all of that said, I don’t have any way to confidently address the possibility of a lone wolf type attack on Elon Musk. However …
What we’re talking about here is not some lone lunatic with a gun and a grudge. We’re talking about a conspiracy to commit murder. Which all indications point to that’s what happened to Jeffrey Epstein.
People like Elon Musk hire security agencies to protect them. These agencies are usually staffed by the highest caliber (pun intended) people the agency can hire. They are by no means cheap to engage. They are very, very good at private protection. These may include armed bodyguards, intelligence operatives/analysts and tradecraft specialists of several types. A firm like this will assess all possible threats in deep detail. They look at everything from who might want their ‘principle’ dead to where a concealed shooter would position himself in a given venue.
I have no doubt Elon Musk is very much aware of the threat to his well-being that absolutely must exist in the larger world. If he listens to and acts on the advice of the people he has hired to protect him he’s going to be just fine as far as the kind of thing Bill is worried about.
A nut with a gun and a grudge, not so much.
JFK was assassinated in front of the world and as of yet, there are still things we’re not allowed to know about it.
Also, while the coordination with govt entities certainly makes social media – twitter specifically – guilty of crossing a legal line, I maintain that such collusion is not necessary for social media to violate a user’s natural / fundamental rights. Just because they are a private company able to make their own rules, doesn’t mean they can violate the rights of Americans without consequence.
In the words of Crocodile Dundee “You call that a knife? This is a knife!”
Elon Musk is, financially at least, one of he most powerful people in the world. Epstein had $$$, but not FU money like Musk’s. If this level of fortune people start going after each other in a death match, that would really be something.
The death of Musk, under any circumstances, would do the same as the Epstein death did – prove everything he say is true, factual and accurate to the point that somebody had to silence him. I have the same questions about the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst as best you can.
Almost never get either.
My life so far.
Think Elons risk is the same. His risk is now elevated, but should be manageable.
I agree with Bill. Elon is a threat to the Left and its many powerful operators. Epstein isn’t the only example… Hillary Clinton comes to mind.
While Bill may be a bit too paranoid, Scott is being a bit too naive.
Nothing personal.
Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean that people aren’t after you.
