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首席执行官埃隆·马斯克是世界上最富有的人，净资产为2510亿美元，他的安全团队已将代号命名为 “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.
发生了什么：马斯克的安全部门职能与小型特勤局类似。据《纽约时报》周五报道，这位科技亿万富翁受到的保护更像是州领导人，而不是企业高管，有时有多达20名安全专业人员陪同。
They frequently carry firearms and have a medical professional on hand for the tech mogul's assistance.
他们经常携带枪支，并有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.
随着马斯克财富和知名度的增加，对他的威胁也随之增加。他的安全团队必须不断发展以应对跟踪者和死亡威胁，这与他过去收到的无害粉丝信息大相径庭。
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.
报告显示，马斯克每年的安全费用高达数百万美元，支付给了包括Gavin de Becker & Associates和他自己的私人保安公司Foundation Security在内的多家安全公司。
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.
该报告还详细介绍了特斯拉奥斯汀工厂附近一名男子被捕的事件，他被指控策划了 “大规模伤亡事件”。马斯克的安保人员已为这次活动做好了充分的准备，三十多名特斯拉安全官员驻扎在整个房间里。
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.
该报告表明，对他的安全的威胁使马斯克变得更加恐惧，他的生活方式更加孤立。即使他在自己的社交媒体公司X（前身为Twitter）工作，他也很少没有保镖。

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."
为何重要：随着时间的推移，马斯克的安全担忧一直在升级。2022年12月，他表示同意推特上的一篇帖子，即他已成为 “一些非常非常坏的人的头号公敌”。
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，他儿子X的车辆被一名 “疯狂的跟踪者” 跟踪，他跳上了汽车的引擎盖，以为马斯克在里面。
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，马斯克在分享了俄罗斯航天局局长德米特里·罗戈津的一份据称提及他和五角大楼的照会后，发布了一条看似讽刺的推文，说他可能在神秘的环境中死亡。
