To be honest as someone who works alongside these people occasionally: That’s a rather small security detail and I know of people with far far less money that have bigger security details.
20 people is not even a close protection detail, a chase car and an advance party plus medics, even less so if you consider that some people will be off duty, etc.
I mean, someone with a high capacity magazine could make short work of even 20 guys. And they aren’t gonna be able to do shit against any kind of explosives.
If one of them can be turned, and someone from Musk’s own security team goes Luigi, they’d be a hero and every single authoritarian across the globe would suddenly come to fear their own security squad.

If they were a wizard who could magically appear within firing range, sure. But by then you’re three layers deep into the Survivability Onion
A big part of personal security is to never be somewhere that a guy who wants to kill you will also be. That means keeping your schedule unpredictable, your route clear, your mode of transportation discrete or otherwise unassailable, and your physical presence obscured to the outside world.
Incidentally, in the last few years the FAA has made it much more difficult to track private aircraft.
If one of them can be turned
Strategically positioning all my guys
Good.
That means he’s scared.
Capitalist scumbags live in golden prisons of their own making.
Meanwhile I can go almost anywhere on the planet alone without any major problems.
“Even if you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.”
Yup.
Being wealthy would be cool, but being a celebrity, a well known person. Nah dawg. Major pass on that shit.
So many things you can’t do anymore. Including basically all my favorite things. Sounds like a curse to me.
Lmao Apartheid Clyde’s gonna be upside down on a lamp post one day <3
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.
Stalkers = women demanding child support.
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
Coward’s gonna cow
Is he still using his own child as a human shield?
He probably forgot him somewhere again
Remember when UHC got shot, musk started using one of his children as a human shield. He would often hold the shield in front of him, Everytime he does a press release
All the top-of-the-billionaires do. Zuck, Gates, Bezos, all have 24/7 security. You can see them lurking around in many of the photos.

How many guards?
Never more than 20.
That’s what happens when you’re an unlikable piece of shit who’s irresponsible actions ruins peoples lives irl
Don’t be a complete piece of shit and you won’t need an army of bodyguards.
