His total security cost him over $163,000 in January 2016 after which he has further increased his security measures. Elon Musk has also talked about security concerns or threats made against him as at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting in June he said that “two homicidal maniacs” had threatened to kill him in recent months.
A Tesla filing revealed that Elon Musk’s security company billed the company $2.4 million in 2023 and another $500,000 through February 2024.
Elon Musk’s security even follows him to the bathroom which even his father said, adding that this made him fearful for his son’s safety “even though he has about 100 security guards around him.”
Not only this, Elon Musk’s father revealed that the billionaire has even ramped up security for his South African home, arming it with a camera system, electrified fencing and constant monitoring by guards.
Tesla has also tightened up security after its former chief financial officer, Zachary Kirkhorn, received a death threat demanding $300,000 in bitcoin via email. At least five other 911 were also reportedly made between 2022 and 2023 from Tesla’s HQ, which law enforcement categorized as “terroristic threats”.
