Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has raised concerns about the safety of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, highlighting Musk’s ongoing efforts to drive change across various industries. In a tweet, Hoskinson outlined what he believes to be the typical progression for individuals pushing for significant change, describing three phases: social destruction, legal harassment and imprisonment, and finally, assassination attempts by a “lone wolf.”
Hoskinson’s Warning and Recent Events
According to Hoskinson, Musk may be nearing this third and most dangerous phase, implying that he could face assassination attempts. Hoskinson’s comments follow a recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign event in Pennsylvania. Although Trump escaped with minor injuries, his campaign team has assured the public that he will continue with his scheduled campaigns.

Response to Trump’s Attack and Musk’s Security Measures
Following the attack on Trump, users on X (formerly Twitter) have advised Musk to enhance his personal security measures. In response, Musk revealed that he has already been the target of two attacks in the past eight months. Armed individuals were arrested near Tesla’s headquarters in Texas on both occasions.
Intensified Concerns Over Musk’s Safety
The discussion surrounding Musk’s safety has intensified, especially after his recent endorsement of Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Musk reportedly made a donation to a Super Political Action Committee (PAC) supporting Trump’s re-election campaign, further intertwining his public persona with polarizing political figures.
Charles Hoskinson’s warnings about Elon Musk’s safety underscore the potential risks faced by high-profile individuals driving significant change. As Musk continues to navigate these challenges, the increased focus on his security highlights the broader implications of his influential position across various industries and the political landscape.
