Elon Musk’s personal security team has been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service. They’re making the Secret Service jealous with their skills and equipment but have had trouble protecting their client. Especially inside places like the White House. This will solve the issue.
Armed security team
The biggest benefit deputizing Musk’s security team provides is the privilege to carry weapons around the president. The U.S. Marshals Service gave them “certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents.”
CNN is fuming over it.
For security reasons, they aren’t saying exactly how many of Musk’s bodyguards “were made special deputies.” Being the richest billionaire on the planet means he can afford to hire the best.
He’s been hanging around with President Donald Trump a lot lately. He didn’t have his own Secret Service detail so members of his own team “were limited in what they could do in Washington, D.C.”
Officials confirm that since members of Elon Musk’s personal security team have been properly deputized, “they have more rights and could be authorized to carry weapons on federal grounds.”
If anything goes wrong, “the Marshals Service could be held legally liable” CNN is sure to point out, with no real reason.
Better than Secret Service
The only thing that the move generated is jealousy. Insiders “have been taken aback by the scale of security that has surrounded Musk since he became a regular presence in Trump’s orbit last year.”
It’s better than the team they had on Trump in Pennsylvania but they can’t bring themselves to say its “better.” CNN grudgingly acknowledges “the detail rivaled only that of the president himself.”
There are a whole lot of really angry Democrats running around Washington right now. Ones who suddenly found themselves unemployed.
“Musk, who is running the new Department of Government Efficiency, has become increasingly concerned with his security since Trump took office a month ago.” They’ve been slashing red tape with a chain saw.
Musk “has told those around him that the level of death threats against him has increased.” Firing half the federal workforce may have had something to do with that.
When Musk took the stage at CPAC, he brought his chainsaw with him. “I don’t actually have a death wish,” he told the cheering crowd. His security team, he explained is “not enormous,” adding “maybe it should be bigger.“
