American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk has to spend millions of dollars a year on his personal security.
Oku.AzThe New York Times reported on this with reference to internal documents of Tesla.
Musk has reportedly decided to seriously tighten his security due to constant death threats and harassment.
“Elon Musk spends millions of dollars a year on his security. He is protected more like a head of state than a businessman,” the source said.
Experts stressed that Musk’s protection works more like that of a secret service than like that of an ordinary businessman. Around 20 armed guards constantly accompany the entrepreneur, checking the rooms before his arrival.
“Ilon is rarely unprotected, even when he goes to the bathroom at Company X,” said sources close to the billionaire.
It is noted that due to the increase in threats, Musk’s lifestyle is becoming more isolated and the businessman himself has become more shy.
It is also noted that since the opening of the Tesla plant in Austin, the local sheriff’s office has responded to eight incidents involving terrorist threats. At least two of them are reportedly aimed directly at Elon Musk.
