Elon Musk says he faces 'quite significant' risk of being assassinated
Musk made the comments in a Twitter Spaces discussion on Saturday evening

Elon Musk said Saturday evening that there is "definitely some risk" to his personal safety during an extensive discussion about free speech, changes he has made to Twitter, and the release of internal communications from the fall of 2020 about what led the tech giant to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story.
"Frankly the risk of something bad happening or literally even being shot is quite significant. I'm definitely not going to be doing any open air car parades, let me put it that way," Musk said in a Twitter Spaces discussion.
"It's not that hard to kill me if somebody wanted to, so hopefully they don't."
The new owner of Twitter rifted on the importance of free speech and his future plans for the platform throughout the roughly two hour discussion.
"Throughout history, free speech has been highly unusual, not common. So we have to fight really hard to keep that because it's such a rare thing and it's by no means something that's default," Musk said. "Controlled speech is the default, not free speech."
