Following Elon Musk's controversial post, which was interpreted as a potential threat against the US President and Vice President, there is an increased risk of political violence that may prompt federal investigation. Though not an attack in the conventional cybersecurity sense, Musk's statements could lead to a tarnished reputation and strained government relations, particularly given SpaceX's defense contracts. The implications may include increased scrutiny, adverse public perception, and potential impacts on SpaceX's ongoing and future government contracts.
