    Capitalist scumbags live in golden prisons of their own making.

    Meanwhile I can go almost anywhere on the planet alone without any major problems.

      Yup.

      Being wealthy would be cool, but being a celebrity, a well known person. Nah dawg. Major pass on that shit.

      So many things you can’t do anymore. Including basically all my favorite things. Sounds like a curse to me.

    It’s wild to me how Musk is proving (just like Trump is) how fundamentally weak and small he is.

    Fred Rogers never had to travel with a single bodyguard.

      Poor term to use, since Luigi is an Elon fanboy.

    Remember when UHC got shot, musk started using one of his children as a human shield. He would often hold the shield in front of him, Everytime he does a press release

    To be honest as someone who works alongside these people occasionally: That’s a rather small security detail and I know of people with far far less money that have bigger security details.

    20 people is not even a close protection detail, a chase car and an advance party plus medics, even less so if you consider that some people will be off duty, etc.

    Any history buffs?

    Is there any similarities to Praetorian Guard with the rise of private security for these rich?

    Like wasn’t Rome at some point actually controlled by Praetorian Guards in secret because they were so powerful that the emperors couldn’t defy them.

      In Musk’s case they would be Pretorian Guards

    All the top-of-the-billionaires do. Zuck, Gates, Bezos, all have 24/7 security. You can see them lurking around in many of the photos.

    it’s almost like championing certain ‘activists’ and then being shocked when people don’t like you is a predictable outcome. who’d have thought.
