Summary
Members of Elon Musk’s private security team have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service, granting them federal law enforcement privileges.
The move follows heightened security concerns and death threats against Musk.
While the Marshals Service routinely deputizes officers, deputizing private security is highly unusual.
The extent of their authority remains unclear, but they may carry weapons and make arrests.
Only a matter of time before they start randomly shooting people who they don’t like the look of.
I thought we were already well past that point.
