How ? At least that’s what the main stakeholder says. The CEO of Tesla, X, SpaceX, Neuralink, PayPal, OpenAI, Starlink and several other companies compared himself to a famous musician at a recent meeting with the management board of one of the companies. He says he sees a similarity in the fact that Lennon was murdered and there were attempts to kill him.
Elon Musk compares himself to John Lennon
Tesla’s CEO gave his typical speech at his annual meeting with shareholders. For over an hour he talked about the company, its achievements and future goals. He talked about autonomous robots, more factories, and projected profits (sky-high, of course). In a segment where questions could be asked from audience members, Musk was asked how he takes care of himself while living the hard life of one of the richest men on the planet. The multimillionaire replied that he was trying not to get killed, as there had already been at least two attempts to kill him in the last month:
The chances of someone trying to kill you are proportional to how many maniacs hear about you. I know that in the last seven months two such people tried to kill me and others, he began enigmatically.
He also said that he decided to separate himself more from his biggest fans to reduce the risk of an attack.
I won’t give autographs at meetings with fans anymore, because among them there may be some maniac who will decide to give me something to sign and shoot me. I will distance myself more – it may not be nice, but it is wise. I don’t want to end up like John Lennon, who kind of sang something like: “Hey, can’t we be nice to each other?” and then, you know, one of his fans shot him – Elon Musk explained in his characteristic way . – I will try to avoid such a fate, I will try to stay alive.
John Lennon was killed in 1980 by Mark Chapman shortly after the musician autographed an album for him. Chapman shot him five times – Lennon’s life could not be saved because four shots hit the target. The killer was a huge fan of The Beatles.
