Elon Musk Has Secret Service-Like Security Team That Calls Him 'Voyager:' Growing Threats After Tesla Austin Factory Scare Have Led To The Richest Man In The World Leading An Increasingly Isolated Lifestyle
As Musk's wealth and popularity have increased, so have the threats against him. His security team has had to evolve to handle stalkers and death threats, a significant departure from the harmless fan messages he used to receive.Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest individual with a net worth of $251 billion has been assigned the codename "Voyager" by his security team.
特斯拉和spacex(临时代码)首席执行官埃隆·马斯克，净资产为2510亿美元，被他的安防-半导体团队指定为代号"Voyager"。
What Happened: Musk's security detail functions similarly to a small-scale Secret Service. The tech billionaire is protected more like a state leader than a corporate executive, with up to 20 security professionals accompanying him at times, reported the New York Times on Friday.
马斯克的安防团队与小规模的特勤队类似。根据《纽约时报》的报道，这位科技大亨受到的保护更像是一个国家领导人，而不是一位企业高管，有时会有多达20名安保人员陪同。
They frequently carry firearms and have a medical professional on hand for the tech mogul's assistance.
他们经常携带武器，并且还有一名医疗专业人员随时为这位科技大亨提供帮助。
As Musk's wealth and popularity have increased, so have the threats against him. His security team has had to evolve to handle stalkers and death threats, a significant departure from the harmless fan messages he used to receive.
随着马斯克的财富和知名度的增加，对他的威胁也越来越多。他的安保团队不得不不断发展，以应对追踪者和死亡威胁，这与他过去收到的无害的粉丝留言截然不同。
The report indicates that Musk's security expenses amount to millions of dollars each year, paid to various security firms including Gavin de Becker & Associates and his own private security company, Foundation Security.
报告指出，马斯克的安保开支每年达数百万美元，支付给包括Gavin de Becker & Associates和他自己的私人安保公司Foundation Security在内的各个安保公司。
The report also detailed an incident where a man was apprehended near Tesla's Austin factory, accused of planning a "mass casualty event." Musk's security was fully mobilized for the event, with over three dozen Tesla security officials stationed throughout the room.
报告还详细描述了一起事件，一个男子被逮捕在特斯拉的奥斯汀工厂附近，被指控策划了一起"重大伤亡事件"。马斯克的安保人员全面调动起来，三十多名特斯拉安全官员被驻扎在整个房间中。
The report suggests that the threats to his safety have led Musk to become more fearful and his lifestyle more isolated. He is rarely without bodyguards, even when he is at his social media company, X, formerly Twitter.
报告表明，对他人安全的威胁使马斯克变得更加害怕，他的生活方式也更加孤立。即使在他的社交媒体公司X（之前的推特）也很少没有保镖陪伴。

Why It Matters: Musk's security concerns have been escalating over time. In December 2022, he expressed agreement with a post on Twitter that he had become "public enemy number one to some very very bad people."
为什么重要: Mask的安全担忧已经逐渐升级。2022年12月，他在Twitter上表示同意一篇发文，称他已经成为"非常非常坏人”的头号公敌。
Previously, Musk has also revealed that his son X's vehicle was followed by a "crazy stalker" who jumped on the car's hood, thinking Musk was inside.
此前，马斯克还透露他的儿子X的车辆一度被一个"疯狂的跟踪者"跟踪，并跳上了车顶，以为马斯克在车内。
In January 2023, Musk posted a seemingly sarcastic tweet about his possible death under mysterious circumstances after sharing an alleged note by Russian space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin that mentioned him and the Pentagon.
2023年1月，马斯克在推特上发了一条看似讽刺的推文，谈到了自己可能在神秘情形下死亡，他在推特中分享了俄罗斯航天局局长德米特里·罗戈津提到他和五角大楼的一份据称的备忘录。
