Musk Hit With Assassination Threats – Is He In Real Danger?

Elon Musk, a key Trump ally and head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), faced alarming assassination threats on TikTok while battling accusations of tax evasion, per a Monday report by TheBlaze. A user, “saracroberts,” posted a video calling for Musk’s assassination, saying, “Somebody’s going to have to just throw their life away on this one,” per Hindustan Times’ February 19 coverage. Simultaneously, Democrats accuse Musk of dodging $1.5 billion in Tesla taxes, per a February 25 Senate Finance Committee letter. For conservatives, this is a vicious attack on a patriot driving America’s economic revival, proving the left’s desperation under Trump’s leadership.
The TikTok threat, flagged by Musk’s X post on February 18, drew Secret Service attention, per The Guardian’s September 2024 report on similar threats. Musk responded on X with, “Everybody dies, but not everybody lives,” brushing off the danger while focusing on DOGE’s $55 billion cut in federal waste, per his Saturday email demanding federal worker reports. The user, “saracroberts,” admitted evading taxes for eight years, per OutKick’s February 24 story, adding hypocrisy to the threat.
“Elon Musk, we need to X him, and by ‘X him’ I mean, formally known as assassination,” she said in the viral video, per TheBlaze.
Democrats, led by Senators Ron Wyden and Elizabeth Warren, accused Musk of tax evasion, claiming Tesla’s 2018 stock options saved him $1.5 billion, per the February 25 letter. Musk’s X response, “Lies, lies, lies—DOGE will expose this fraud,” per TheBlaze, defended his record, citing SpaceX and Tesla’s $20 billion in government contracts, per CNN Business’ November 2024 report, as legal earnings, not evasion.
This dual attack follows Trump’s January policies, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.
“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”
Posts on X defended Musk—one user wrote, “Musk’s saving America with DOGE—leftists want him dead for it.” Another added, “Tax lies and death threats? Trump’s fight is ours too.”
Republicans see this as a witch hunt. Biden’s deficits pushed the national debt past $35 trillion, while 8.5 million illegal crossings, per CBP, strained resources. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, Title 42 revival, and DOGE’s cuts signal the fix—cut waste, secure borders, and prioritize Americans. Musk’s role, per Wired’s February 2025 analysis, drives that, but the left’s attacks show desperation.
The left’s crying foul, with Senate Democrats and TikTok users calling Musk “dangerous” and vowing probes, per a Monday AP report. Too bad—conservatives see this as proof of his impact, not wrongdoing. Legal challenges loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Tuesday block on Education records—but Republicans aren’t deterred. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring Musk’s leadership boosts America, not bows to threats.
Musk’s threats mirror 2024 incidents, per The Guardian, where the Secret Service investigated his posts, but his focus remains on DOGE’s audit, per February 24 Bloomberg. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show the alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives are ready to defend Musk, ensuring America’s economic revival thrives despite leftist attacks.
