Twitter

Musk, who was not present at the encounter, posted the footage on Twitter to ask if anyone recognized the man, before blaming the incident on a banned account that tracked his plane to a Los Angeles airport 23 hours before the unwanted interaction. .

A man who was filmed allegedly harassing Elon Musk earlier in the week has been unmasked as an Uber Eats worker who insists the billionaire is harassing him.

In an interview Sunday, the alleged stalker confirmed that he has an interest in Musk’s family and said the mother of Musk’s children, pop star Grimes, was sending him coded messages.

The incident occurred 26 miles from the airport, at a gas station in Pasadena.

In an interview with the Post, Collado confirmed that he has an interest in Musk’s family and that he was the masked man in the images, while also claiming that the mother of Musk’s children, pop star Grimes, was sending him coded messages. through the latter. Instagram posts.

Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, lives in a house near the gas station where the altercation occurred.

Meanwhile, Collado claimed he was making deliveries when he arrived at the South Pasadena gas station at 9:45 p.m. m. and he was confronted by Musk’s security worker, which he said happened without warning.

Store manager Daniel Santiago told The Post that he saw Collado’s car pull up next to his car at that point 15 minutes before the station closed. He told the newspaper how he was surprised that Collado chose to park there, as it was not a normal place for a customer to park.

Incident

The incident, he said, was caught on the store’s surveillance cameras, which he has since turned over to police to investigate the ordeal.

The footage posted by Musk appeared to begin sometime after Collado pulled up to the station, during which time the two men apparently exchanged a few words before Musk’s worker decided to film the masked man and his badge.

The current case highlights some of the concerns regarding Musk’s position of power as the new head of one of the world’s top social media platforms, and inconsistencies have since emerged in the way the mogul, pictured here with X in 2021, he runs his new empire.

‘Yeah, pretty sure. Got you,” Musk’s security staffer can be heard saying. Musk wrote that X, whose real name is X Æ A-Xii, was riding in the car at the time, though there is no indication in the video, nor in those shared with Collado for The Post, that any of Musk’s children with Bouchard They were present.

The video then panned to the license plate of the car. There was a brief exchange with the alleged stalker, where the driver seemed to utter: ‘Understood.’

Videos shared by Collado with The Post reportedly showed him getting out of his rental car and pulling up in front of a Toyota driven by the bodyguard.

At some point, Musk claimed that Collado reportedly blocked the vehicle’s path by climbing on top of its hood.

Shortly after the incident, the Post reported that officers from the South Pasadena Police Department arrived at the gas station and questioned Collado, telling him they were going to file a police report for his actions regarding the incident.

Collado told the newspaper Sunday that police had not contacted him since the altercation.

The Post report added that the Los Angeles Police Department’s Threat Management Unit had been “in contact with Musk’s representatives and security team,” but claimed no such report was filed.

The story added that Los Angeles police do not believe the @elonjet Twitter account is linked to the Collado incident, a sentiment confirmed to the newspaper by an anonymous detective.

However, it’s clear that Musk initially believed this to be the case, given that he authorized a major overhaul of Twitter’s rules regarding free speech just one day after the altercation.

Apparently outraged by concerns for his loved one’s safety, Musk also suspended en masse half a dozen journalists who he claimed “misled” him into posting tweets related to his flights, including the two reporters who wrote the recent report.

Both Lorenz and Harwell, who tweeted the mogul for comment after Musk shared a video of the altercation, were among those who got their accounts back.

Also suspended, apparently for covering the story, were journalists from The New York Times, CNN and various other organizations. Several, including the @ElonJet account, which Musk offered to buy last year for $5,000, remained banned.

The people have spoken. Accounts that duplicated my location will be suspended now,” Musk wrote at the time, before adding: “If someone posted real-time locations and addresses of NYT reporters, the FBI would be investigating, there would be hearings on Capitol Hill. and Biden would give speeches about the end of democracy!’

In another explosive reassessment in its report, the Post said that on that day, Collado tweeted to Musk: “I’m the guy in this video… You have connections to me and have harassed me and my family for over a year.”

Explaining the stalking ordeal on Saturday, Musk said: “Last night, the car carrying Lil X in Los Angeles was followed by a crazy stalker (thinking it was me), who then blocked the car’s movement and got into the car. hood”.

“Legal action is being taken against Sweeney and the organizations that supported the harm to my family.”

Musk stated that he subsequently stated that he was taking legal action against Sweeney, whose Twitter account used publicly available records to tell the world where the jerk boss’s private plane was flying.

Subsequently, both the account and Sweeney’s personal account were suspended.
