A right-wing conspiracy theorist who has embraced political violence claims Elon Musk will release personal DMs of X users. Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “secretary of retribution” has been given a pass to the Republican National Convention despite calling for the former president’s enemies to be executed, the Daily Beast has learned. Ivan Raiklin, a former soldier and intelligence official, is free to roam the Milwaukee venue despite being described by one prominent congressman as a “clear and present danger to American democracy” for his plans to round up hundreds of Trump enemies. He also claimed in February that an assassination attempt on Donald Trump would benefit the MAGA movement. “If they [assassinate Trump], option 2, behind Trump, is going to be so much better for us and so much worse [for] them,” Raiklin said on Alex Jones’ show in February. Raiklin, one of the architects of the “Stop The Steal” movement who predicted a political assassination attempt would benefit Republicans is promoting his “Deep State target list” at the RNC. The list of roughly 450 officials includes: Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker; James Comey, the director of the FBI fired by Trump; Paul Ryan, the Republican House speaker for the first two years of Trump’s first term and James Clapper, Pres. Obama’s final director of national intelligence. Raiklin has said he wants them rounded up by county sheriffs on charges of treason and sedition, which carry the death penalty. In secret video footage obtained by the Daily Beast, Raiklin bragged about his scheme and said Musk has “dirt on every person” with an X account on his list. He claimed that the evidence of treason would be released by Musk, although he acknowledged that only 100 of his 450 targets had accounts on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Raiklin, who is attending the Republican National Convention this week, claimed he has plans to work with Elon Musk to unearth private direct messages on X from members of the “target list” by the end of the summer. “Once Elon Musk discloses what I call the mother of all Twitter files — Remember, Elon Musk purchased a dataset of information and evidence,” Raiklin on Wednesday. “He has now dirt on every person that has a Twitter account that used to be, and are, in the deep state. I’ve created a list of individuals who that is: 450. About 100-plus of them have Twitter accounts.” Raiklin gave an interview to an unidentified camera crew just outside the Secret Service perimeter around the convention space, openly bragging about his scheme as someone in a rat costume meandered behind him. Five months ago, Raiklin told his more famous fellow conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that a political assassination attempt would benefit Republicans.
