Tesla Increases Elon Musk Security After Charlie Kirk Assassination
Following the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the company's board have acknowledged the need to significantly enhance Musk's security detail amid rising political violence and threats. Tesla currently spends about $3.3 million annually on Musk's security, a figure much lower than the $27 million Meta spends protecting CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Tesla Board Chair Robyn Denholm emphasized the board's long-standing concern for Musk's safety, especially given his immense influence and ongoing political associations. Investor Alexandra Merz and other Tesla shareholders have publicly called for increased security funding to address these growing risks. Musk, who has faced criticism and threats due to his previous political contributions and business activities, has personally affirmed the importance of improving his protection. This move comes as political tensions and targeted violence against high-profile figures in the tech and political spheres continue to escalate.
