His claim comes after he announced that he was backing former US President and current Republican nominee Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
In his post, Musk said, “Dangerous times ahead. Two people (separate occasions) have already tried to kill me in the past 8 months. They were arrested with guns about 20 mins drive from Tesla HQ in Texas.”

Musk had alleged that he would be assassinated previously as well. In 2022, he accused reporters of sharing his real-time location and said they were giving out his “assassination coordinates”.
The journalists were reporting on the publicly available flight records to show followers where Musk's private jet was flying. Their accounts were banned from X, which Musk owns.
Musk had also faced threats from former Russian space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin, to which he had replied, “If I die under mysterious circumstances, it's been nice knowin ya.”
The Tesla CEO also criticised the Secret Service for the attempt on Trump's life, stating that they were either“extremely incompetent or deliberate”.

Meanwhile, Trump who suffered a bullet wound on the upper part of his right ear, assured his voters and attendees of the rally that he was safe. He also stated that,"I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin."
