During Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting, CEO Elon Musk revealed that multiple attempts on his life have occurred in the past seven months due to his social and business prominence.

This disclosure came in response to an investor’s question about how Musk is taking care of himself given his high-profile status.

Musk acknowledged the risks associated with his visibility, humorously noting that the likelihood of attracting homicidal maniacs is proportional to his fame.

He shared that two individuals had recently attempted to kill him and others at Tesla without any clear motive, the Daily Express has reported.

Musk mentioned that prioritizing his safety makes him seem more standoffish, as he has stopped signing autographs in public.

He also referenced the assassination of John Lennon, who was killed despite his messages of peace. Musk concluded by stating his commitment to staying alive.
