Elon Musk says the assassination of Charlie Kirk has hugely affected his daily life. He says he can no longer risk being in the general public because his political enemies have painted a target on him. He says letting his guard down, even briefly, could mean the sudden end of his life.

@elonmusk: Charlie Kirk’s assassination has underscored why he can’t risk doing things with the general public:
"It's not that I don't want to. I simply can’t."
"It's only reinforced the severity of the situation where life is on hardcore mode. You make one mistake and you're dead, and it only takes one."
"One mistake."
Musk explains what one mistake could lead to. (WATCH)

That’s the sad truth.
The assassination of Kirk and the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump show that radicals have no qualms about murdering those they disagree with politically.
It should never be like this, people should not have to fear living their lives because they hold certain political views that others disagree with.

It should not. But this is the reality of where we are.

At least for one side.
I don’t blame him.

There were 2 attempts on Trump’s life, one with fatalities of others, before Charlie.
It’s a dangerous, sick world.

Democrats continue to encourage deadly violence through the rhetoric they employ.
Posters correctly predict how leftists will respond to Musk’s concern for his life.
Leftists seeing this: "So tell the right to not be violent. Problem solved."

“tell the right to stop doing stuff that makes us mad"

‘Stop forcing us to kill you!’
Posters say the security costs for someone as high-profile as Musk must be astronomical. He can afford it, but it’s no way to live.
I remember seeing Zuckerberg's security was like tens of millions a year. Musk has at least that much

Possibly more

A “modest” security detail costs north of 100k/month so for that level we’re talking multiples
This terrible reality is exactly what the far left wanted to create, which of course means that the woke mind virus currently is far from defeated.

And Democrats keep it alive by feeding it with lies and deadly rhetoric. They’ll never stop, as the murder of Kirk and the near-assassination of Trump prove.
