Musk said tonight that he isn't suicidal and if he commits suicide, "it's not real"

Last edited Sun Dec 4, 2022, 10:45 AM - Edit history (2)

His followers are taking this as meaning he's been threatened, and someone who's threatened to kill him will try to make it look like a suicide.


One of the tweets about it:





I don't know the context for this.

Both Musk and Twitter seem to be getting crazier and crazier.

EDITING: That tweet has vanished, for some reason, but if you search Twitter for

Musk suicide

you'll find lots of tweets referring to what he said, some with audio.

I discovered this morning that Musk has done this sort of thing before, as this news story explains:

https://fox7austin.com/news/elon-musk-cryptic-tweet-dying-under-mysterious-circumstances

So he likes to pose, probably to himself as well as his RWNJ followers, as someone who's such a threat to powerful people that his life is at risk. And his followers yap about how brave he is, and how he must be protected at all costs.

EDITING again, with a tweet with audio of something else delusional he said yesterday. He seems to think he's at risk of being assassinated like JFK:

Elon has two reporters going over all the emails and contacts from before he took over and releasing info that many people are very unhappy with. Over a million people listened to some portion tonight. It was interactive with Elon taking questions. I have no idea how long it will go on but it sounds like the "Twitter Files" might be putting his life at risk.

His huge master plan home development in Vegas had racial convenants in the leases baring certain ethnic groups, just as the original such development did in Leavittown, NY.

Being holed up in a hotel for years, it's very likely he'd have been trolling online if it had been available then.

① Carjacking. Killed when he refuses to hand over his catalytic converter (smirk)
② Battery explodes.
③ Autopilot drives him off Golden Gate Bridge.
④ Car thieves break in and steal his brain, which he downloaded to a thumb drive via neuralink. (And forgot to back up!)
⑤ Runs up $100B in parking tickets. Files bankruptcy.
⑥ Eaten by a sea lion.
⑦ Attacks and kills maniac in the mirror.
⑧ Swallowed by black hole.
⑨ Tries to power car by hooking it up to overhead trolley wires like BTTF. With uninsulated wires.

And a cry for help, and wants more positive attention by claiming he's a victim, and is lying by claiming this now . He has to be the victim, like someone else we know has done to get attention for himself. He should never be trusted for the truth. His outlandish claims and threats will only escalate, and expose his fascist beliefs. I would never buy or use his products.

a few of his Twitter followers nervous. But they're following someone who wants people neuralinked by computer chips. They're just cogs in whatever vast machine he thinks he's creating.

Time to connect the dots, the food crumbs he is leaving for us to examine.

Musk buys Twitter with global personal information data.
Musk invents neuro (brain) chips, self driving cars, rocket ships.
Now talking about inventing a new Iphone.

Yes he is building a vast machine.
All humans are just cogs in his machine.

Some people think it is Orwellian.

But it is looking more like The Borg from Star Trek.
