"the constant use of bodyguards suggested that Musk, who has sacked a huge number of Twitter staff including coders, does not trust his remaining staff at Twitter HQ in San Francisco."

Or he could just have credible threats against his life because he is super rich and famous and has a big mouth?

Bodyguards follow super-rich famous person everywhere is a non-news story. I’m not a Musk fan, but the Daily Beast is one of the greatest peddlers of clickbait and faux outrage deserving of a ban on HN.
