Elon Musk claims magazine cover is part of a secret – and deadly – plot

Billionaire visionary Elon Musk expressed concerns on Sunday about growing critical reporting about his decision to get involved in the 2024 election on behalf of former President Donald Trump.

Musk spoke about his concerns during a campaign town hall on Sunday evening in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, citing a recent cover of German magazine Der Spiegel, which called him “Public Enemy No. 2′ painted.

“I’m like, enemy number 2 of what? Um, democracy? I mean, I’m pro-democracy. I’m literally trying to uphold the Constitution and make sure we have free and fair elections,” Musk said.

“I’m definitely upgrading my security,” he added with a laugh. “I think I better cancel my open car parade.”

Since publicly participating in a rally with Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month, Musk has traveled across the Commonwealth holding his own events to discuss the importance of the election.

“Sometimes I’m a little shocked by the things I see,” he admitted, referring to the “intolerant” radical left.

Musk said his decision to support and campaign for Trump “dramatically increases my risk of being assassinated,” but said he had no “death wish” by entering politics.

“The stakes are so high that I feel like I have no choice not to do it,” he said.

Musk also shared a video of his observation on his X.com account and a copy of the magazine cover.

“With their relentless hit pieces, the traditional mainstream media actively encourages the assassination of Donald Trump and now me,” he wrote.

Musk continues to campaign for Trump in Pennsylvania, undeterred by the growing threats.

Last weekend, he upped the ante by giving random supporters who sign his online petition in support of the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution a $1 million check.

Musk’s petition infuriated his critics, who accused him of trying to buy the election with his seemingly unlimited personal wealth.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro expressed concerns about Musk’s spending during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.

“There are real questions about how he’s spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing,” he said.

Shapiro suggested that the legal system investigate Musk’s spending during the election.

“I think this is something that the police could look into… it raises serious questions,” he said.
