MAGA billionaire fears being in public after Charlie Kirk murder: ‘Serious security issues’

Elon Musk says Charlie Kirk's October assassination shows public figures face serious security risks as crowds form selfie lines and one mistake can be fatal.

  • On The Katie Miller Podcast, Elon Musk, 54-year-old Tesla CEO and MAGA activist, said he no longer feels safe in public and is avoiding crowds.
  • Charlie Kirk was killed in October while speaking on a Utah college campus, and authorities later charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, though his motive remains unclear.
  • Musk described how crowds create an immediate `Can I have a selfie?` line, making public events unsafe, and said the killing "reinforced the severity of the situation," warning `You make one mistake and you’re dead and it only takes one one mistake.`
  • An April poll showed 35% approval for Musk's DOGE work, and demonstrators on February 7, 2025, demanded his termination, with Musk saying protesters burned his Teslas.
  • He noted ordinary errands like Target or CVS are now complicated for him, said his DOGE work was only "somewhat successful" and would not repeat it, and his support for right-wing movements abroad has drawn negative attention.
