Elon Musk’s private security detail gets deputized by US Marshals Service
The US Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk’s private security detail, giving them certain rights and protections of federal law enforcement agents, three law enforcement officials familiar with the matter told CNN.
It was not immediately clear how many members of Musk’s security team were made special deputies.
Musk, the tech billionaire and ally of President Donald Trump, does not currently have a US Secret Service detail – meaning members of his personal security detail were limited in what they could do in Washington, DC.
Now that members have been deputized, they have more rights and could be authorized to carry weapons on federal grounds. It also means that if something went awry with the detail, the Marshals Service could be held legally liable, one law enforcement source said.
CNN has reached out to the Justice Department and the US Marshals Service for comment.
Some people close to Trump’s White House have been taken aback by the scale of security that has surrounded Musk since he became a regular presence in Trump’s orbit last year. The detail rivaled only that of the president himself, the sources observed.
Musk, who is running the new Department of Government Efficiency, has become increasingly concerned with his security since Trump took office a month ago and has told those around him that the level of death threats against him has increased, according to a person with direct knowledge of his comments.
He hinted at those concerns during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, saying on stage: “I don’t actually have a death wish.”
“It’s not enormous,” Musk said of his security detail. “Maybe it should be bigger.”
The Marshals Service has the power deputize a wide swath of people at their own discretion, including Justice Department employees, law enforcement officials and employees of private security companies. The deputization, which typically comes from the deputy attorney general, lasts for one year, according to a Justice Department manual.
The Marshals Service has deputized security details before, including that of Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Marshals deputized officers from the office of the inspector general at the Department of Health and Human Services to serve as Fauci’s security because of an increase in threats to his personal safety.
But law enforcement sources told CNN that deputizing private security is unusual, particularly because those individuals are not current members of law enforcement. One source described the move as “rare.”

Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. Because effed up just doesn’t seem to cover it.
Note: Hey, Sexy Patriots! We don’t want to alarm you, but, um, we’re gonna. Don’t look now, but there is a ketamine-addled lunatic waving around a chainsaw and destroying the federal government all while elevating nazis and trolls. Oh and he called the commander of the International Space Station the r-word…
What an asshole. What a sad, weird, irredeemable asshole. Our point in writing this is to tell you THIS SHIT AIN’T FUCKING NORMAL!!! For reasons we don’t really understand — or reasons we understand all too well — the mainstream media is just missing the moment here and failing to employ the appropriate amount of hysteria over the endless dorky dickish chainsaw-wielding stupidity that has been unleashed upon us. So allow us to do their jobs and say again THIS SHIT AIN’T FUCKING NORMAL! THAT DUDE IS DRUGGED OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND AND WAVING AROUND A FUCKING CHAINSAW WHILE HE’S FUCKING OVER MILITARY VETERAN PARK RANGERS!
We thought that last part was important to add. But seriously, this shit ain’t fucking normal and it’s on all of us to keep speaking out making sure it never is. Y’all have a blessed day. More: NBC News
Note two: We wanted to save this for the Happy Ending, but congratulations to Canada for beating Trump’s USA hockey team in a thrilling overtime win last night. And props to Trudeau for declaring that we can’t take their country or their game. Did y’all see some Canadiens were calling us the 11th Province? So when do we start being respected around the world again? More: Yahoo Sports
Note three: We didn’t notice it at the time, but the woman who sang the Canadian national anthem changed a line to make clear Canada ain’t gonna be the 51st state. More: Associated Press
Note four: That thing we said about Trump and Elon Leon fucking over military veterans is quite real. It’s also a good reminder that there has never been a Musk or Trump to wear the uniform of this country. More: CNN
Note five: Trump’s attack dog in DC is threatening members of Congress. If Garcia needs some help writing his reply, we have some suggestions.
Note six: Steve Bannon did the nazi salute at CPAC yesterday. So are we don’t pretending it was ever anything else? More: Independent
Note seven: Elon Leon’s ex was frantically trying to reach Elon Leon about a “medical crisis” involving their child yesterday, but he was too busy waving a chainsaw around and being a dorky nazi. Probably not gonna be father of the year. More: Huff Post
Note eight: Trump’s DOJ is threatening to arrest a sheriff who let a man go after completing his sentence. They’re big mad the sheriff didn’t illegally hold the dude for ICE. More: Bolts Mag
Note nine: Well this ain’t good. Some of the folks Leon fired at FAA were responsible for keeping the pilots sober. So get ready for more upside-down planes. More: Rolling Stone
Note 10: Want to see a Trump administration official get booed to hell and back? This shit never happened to Mayor Pete.
Note 11: If you’re looking for a good movie to distract you from the horror, check out Sly Lives on Hulu. It’s a documentary about Sly and the Family Stone directed by Questlove and it is wonderful. Not as good as the Oscar-winning Summer of Soul but still really damn good.
Note 12: U.S. consumer sentiment is plunging. We can’t figure out why other than nobody can get eggs and the president is a fucking moron who is firing thousands of Americans and doesn’t understand how tariffs work. More: CNN
Note 13: Hey, Delaware Democrats, what the fuck are you doing trying to help Elon Leon get richer?! Knock it off! More: Prospect

Note 16: This is the kind of news that seems good but makes you wonder what the catch is. Anyway, the Venezuelans Trump sent to Gitmo have been moved to Honduras. Maybe the pressure is working. More: NBC News
Note 17: In the Kansas legislature, Democrats are worried their Republican colleagues are going to shoot them on the fucking House floor. More: Kansas Reflector

Note 20: And on that desperately needed note, let’s go do some news! We hope y’all have an amazing weekend. And please remember that you’re not crazy. The dumb motherfucker with the chainsaw is. Love y’all!
Ass Patel
Is that juvenile? Sure. But we don’t care. Because the new director of the FBI is a compromised, QAnon-loving, Jan. 6-promoting charter member of the Trump cult and the fact that he is in this position is fucking terrifying. We don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say the FBI is about to become an American KGB that goes after civil rights groups and enemies of the president. And yeah the FBI has been that before and it sucked then too. Republican senators really fucked us on this one. Especially Moscow Mitch McConnell who announced he’s not running for another term and then voted for this asshole anyway. More: NBC News, Associated Press
Neither rain
Nor sleet, nor snow will stop the postal service. But a fucking idiot gameshow host is gonna try. According to numerous reports, Trump is going to try and shut down the U.S. postal service as an independent agency and move it under the Department of Commerce. Not only is this really stupid but it’s also blatantly unconstitutional. We almost want Trump to do it because it will fuck over rural Americans so badly there’s no way he wouldn’t get some blowback. And it’s pretty obvious he’s just doing this dumb shit so he can put an end to mail-in voting. The White House is denying this story, so you know it’s true. More: CNN
There’s something happening here
What it is is pretty fucking clear. In addition to the clip we showed in the Happy Ending, there is footage making the rounds last night and this morning of a heated town hall meeting for Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia’s 7th District. People are fucking pissed and they want to know why the hell their members of Congress are doing jack shit while a billionaire dork nazi fires Americans and fucks with their social security. For those who don’t remember, this is how the Tea Party started in 2009 and that led to a “shellacking” for Democrats in the 2010 midterms. Americans aren’t going to take Trump’s crap without a fight, and we are starting to see just how angry folks really are. Let’s fucking go! More: NBC News

This is why a lot of Repubs aren't doing town halls this year.
Shouldve showed up Nov 5th
No mass firings, no planes falling from the sky. But hey I'm hearing Trump is King now. Must be nice for you contorts.
Dear Humans,
It is the Year of thy LORD 2025 and MAGA are only just now realizing that Trump loves Putin.

1. They Knew Who He Was
Trump is doing what he has always done—choosing dictators over democracy. He has always gone to insane lengths to prove his love for Putin, in particular.They just now noticed?
Where was this concern when he groveled before Putin in Helsinki?
Where was this doubt when he tried to extort Zelenskyy for dirt on Biden?
Whoa. I’m glad they’re saying he would need to be removed from office. That’s a positive sign.
It took this long for you to see it? You’re just now having a crisis? After eight years of this?
In all seriousness, anyone who changes their mind enough to commit to his impeachment should be applauded. They’re on the right side on this. The rest of the clown show absolutely loves Russia. This is them:
2. Schadendude Mode
Look, man. I’m not here to rub it in. I’m here to tell you the truth. It’s never too late to admit you got played. It’s never too late.I’m trying to be the shepherd. I’m trying to lead the weak out of the valley of darkness. I’m trying real hard, Ringo.
3. God’s Final Word
Trump calls Ukraine’s fight for survival a “pointless war.”A Ukrainian just set him straight:
No surprises here.
It is all on the Democrats. If they weren’t so weak, there would be no Trump. If they didn’t use and abuse so-called black people for 70 years, there would be no Trump.
Already got threads dating back almost 10 years explaining it. Do you suffer from dementia? Or do you just want attention because everything I’ve said about this has come to fruition and you are scrambling to find out what is going happen next like the majority of the dullards in this thread?
Pro-whites like you and @camdion1 will always be left behind because you depend on your biggest enemy. That shit doesn’t even make any sense
