Viral: Elon Musk reportedly followed by bodyguards even to toilet at Twitter HQ, check funniest reactions

Twitter’s billionaire CEO Elon Musk has bodyguards follow him everywhere at the social media company’s headquarters, the BBC first reported citing one of his employees. An anonymous Twitter engineer has claimed that Musk, who is also the world’s second richest person, is escorted by at least two bodyguards who do not leave his side even when he goes to the restroom at the firm’s San Francisco HQ.

These are “tall” and “bulky” bodyguards who, he said, appear like they are out of a “Hollywood movie”.

Several Twitter users reacted to the news, some highlighting ‘paranoia’ while others cracking funny jokes. Musk seemingly himself reacted to the report with cryptic tweets about using Twitter on the toilet seat. People used them as a thread. Check some of the funniest reactions below:
