'If I committed suicide, it's not real': Elon Musk reassures the public he's not suicidal for a second time this year
Elon Musk attended a Twitter Space Q&A with more than 100,000 listeners on Saturday.
When asked if he was suicidal, Musk gave a clear 'no.'
This is the second time in 2022 that Musk has alluded to his mysterious death.
During a live Q&A session, Twitter's "chief twit" Elon Musk assured listeners he had no thoughts of suicide despite questions about the billionaire's mental state and safety.
Musk, 51, let everyone know that a mysterious sudden death would not be his own doing after fears for his safety arose. In a Saturday Twitter Space, Musk hosted a live Q&A on the "Twitter Files" bombshell dropped on Friday.
During the session, one of the 100,000 listeners at the time asked Musk if he was "suicidal."
"I do not have any suicidal thoughts. If I committed suicide, it's not real," Musk replied.
According to Twitter, 1.8 million total tuned in to the Twitter Space interview.
Speculation about Musk's safety and mental state comes amid the self-proclaimed free speech absolutist's promises to expose Twitter's alleged "free speech suppression" with the release of the Twitter Files.
The files contained internal communications between Twitter employees about a New York Post report on President Biden's son Hunter, according to the report from Insider's Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert.
In the Q&A, Musk also suggested Twitter favored Democrats over Republicans in its censorship. According to the Epoch Times, he said treatment of the opposing political groups "was not even-handed."
"I'm not saying this is definitely the case. There appears to have been a double standard where Democrats were not censored and left causes were not censored but right causes and Republicans were," Musk said.
Former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner shared her concern for Musk's safety and commended his bravery in a Friday tweet: "@elonmusk I hope you are surrounded by massive security and in an extremely safe undisclosed location - you just became public enemy number one to some very very bad people, I pray for your safety and thank you for your bravery! We need more @elonmusk in our society!!!"
