Elon Musk is accompanied around Twitter’s headquarters by at least two bodyguards who even follow him to the restroom, an engineer at the social-media company has told the BBC.
The engineer, who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity to protect their employment, said the bodyguards were “bulky” and “tall” and like they’re from a “Hollywood movie.”
The engineer said he thought that Musk’s use of bodyguards inside Twitter’s HQ in San Fransisco, California, suggested a lack of trust in the company’s employees, per the BBC report published Sunday.
Musk even thinks his own father might want to kill him.
Twitter didn’t immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment, made outside US business hours.
Musk’s father Errolsaid in January that he feared for his son’s safety even though he was protected by “100 security guards.” Musk had upgraded Errol’s security system for his South Africa home with 24-hour armed guards, cameras, and electric fencing, Errol said.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, was handed an annual personal security allowance of $14 million for 2023, according to a recent disclosure with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This covers staff, equipment, and residential improvements to help keep Zuckerberg and his family safe, according to the filing.
He tweeted in May that owning Twitter “probably won’t increase my life expectancy.” He was responding to a Twitter user who said that Musk should “add more security guards to your team.”
