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
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首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克是世界上最富有的人，淨資產爲2510億美元，他的安全團隊已將代號命名爲 「旅行者」。
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.
發生了什麼：馬斯克的安全部門職能與小型特勤局類似。據《紐約時報》週五報道，這位科技億萬富翁受到的保護更像是州領導人，而不是企業高管，有時有多達20名安全專業人員陪同。
They frequently carry firearms and have a medical professional on hand for the tech mogul's assistance.
他們經常攜帶槍支，並有醫療專業人員隨時爲這位科技大亨提供幫助。
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.
隨着馬斯克財富和知名度的增加，對他的威脅也隨之增加。他的安全團隊必須不斷髮展以應對跟蹤者和死亡威脅，這與他過去收到的無害粉絲信息大相徑庭。
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.
報告顯示，馬斯克每年的安全費用高達數百萬美元，支付給了包括Gavin de Becker & Associates和他自己的私人保安公司Foundation Security在內的多家安全公司。
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.
該報告還詳細介紹了特斯拉奧斯汀工廠附近一名男子被捕的事件，他被指控策劃了 「大規模傷亡事件」。馬斯克的安保人員已爲這次活動做好了充分的準備，三十多名特斯拉安全官員駐紮在整個房間裏。
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.
該報告表明，對他的安全的威脅使馬斯克變得更加恐懼，他的生活方式更加孤立。即使他在自己的社交媒體公司X（前身爲Twitter）工作，他也很少沒有保鏢。

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."
爲何重要：隨着時間的推移，馬斯克的安全擔憂一直在升級。2022年12月，他表示同意推特上的一篇帖子，即他已成爲 「一些非常非常壞的人的頭號公敵」。
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，馬斯克還透露，他兒子X的車輛被一名 「瘋狂的跟蹤者」 跟蹤，他跳上了汽車的引擎蓋，以爲馬斯克在裏面。
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，馬斯克在分享了俄羅斯航天局局長德米特里·羅戈津的一份據稱提及他和五角大樓的照會後，發佈了一條看似諷刺的推文，說他可能在神祕的環境中死亡。
