Tesla CEO Elon Musk was the centre of attention for curious reporters waiting outside a San Francisco court earlier this week who urged him to share details of the trial. However, his dark-suited security detail quickly overshadowed Musk and went viral on social media, with users praising them for their vigilance and stern persona.
A clip on Twitter displays Musk’s bodyguards escorting him towards his white car, helping him avoid questions from the press. Musk asks reporters at the scene “were you guys listening…what do you think.” A reporter then asks, “Any more comments?,” to which the Twitter CEO replies, “No I can’t comment, cause legal stuff, but I am curious what you guys think.”
The reporter then responds “we weren’t listening,” with Musk then apologizing with “oh okay, sorry.” Throughout the interaction, the bodyguard duo can be seen surrounding Musk, helping him get into the car. A snippet of the incident has gotten over 165,000 views and several comments.
#elon_musk surrounded by bodyguards. We can clearly see the bodyguard signaling to him not to go towards the press and to get into his car. And all this since what? Since he bought Twitter.
