> Following assassination attempts on presidential candidate Donald Trump over the weekend, Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that he’s faced two assassination attempts of his own within recent months.

> “Yeah, so we actually did have two homicidal maniacs in the last roughly seven months come to aspirationally try to kill me, and a bunch of other people. So it’s not just me. And then there wasn’t like an actual issue that they articulated, they were just in the homicidal maniac career, so I do need to be kind of careful.”

Sounds like Musk is eager both to connect with Trump, and to get attention focused back on himself.

And his "assassins" sound far too low-functioning and incoherent to apply that term to.




Any police reports on this?

My news feed must be defective. No coverage of a major terror threat.


Musk needs this self-aggrandizement to feed his overinflated ego. That's what happens when you never learn to control yourself.
