On March 30, while attending a town hall in Wisconsin Musk claimed that he received 17,000 death threats daily.

"There were quite a few death threats, I have to tell you," he alleged. "I was like, my security team said, 'Well, it’s actually gone down from yesterday to today. It went down from 18,000 to 17,000.' So, I’m like, well, maybe it’s getting better. But you can see how crazy some of these people are."
