PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: An UberEats employee is reportedly said to be the man captured on camera stalking Elon Musk's family. Furthermore, he believes the billionaire is constantly keeping an eye on him. A brief video showed Brandon Collado driving a white Hyundai, wearing a black hood. Musk's security personnel confronted him after he jumped on the hood of his son X's vehicle.
As per the Washington Post, Collado reportedly hired the automobile from Turo, a car-sharing service while admitting to being the man in the video. As per the outlet, Jack Sweeney, who tracked Musk's personal aircraft on the now-suspended Twitter account @ElonJet, was not involved in the Collado incident. The Twitter CEO by then had suspended a number of journalists for covering the @ElonJet suspensions, before reinstating them later, as per NBC.

Who is Brandon Collado?
Collado is believed to be the stalker after Musk uploaded a photo of the man wearing a balaclava to his 122 million followers on Tuesday, December 15. Collado made a set of bizarre claims, according to the Washington Post. He admitted he was interested in Musk and Grimes, who is the mother of two of the Twitter CEO's children.
Musk released a video of Collado on Twitter to see if anyone recognized the man before attributing the incident to an account, that has since been blocked for tracking his aircraft to an airport in Los Angeles 23 hours before the stalking incident. Musk wrote, "Anyone recognize this person or car?"
The incident reportedly happened at a Pasadena gas station at 9.45 pm, 26 miles from the airport. In an interview with The Post, Collado claimed that Grimes was sending him "coded messages" through her Instagram posts. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, resides in a home close to the petrol station where the confrontation took place.
Police in South Pasadena and Los Angeles said there was "no evidence" that Collado's apparent tailing of the car was connected to Jack Sweeney's Twitter account. The 20-year-old college student also manages several other accounts with similar functions.
According to the article, Collado also asserted that he had been in the musician's neighborhood on Tuesday, December 13, to fulfill an Uber Eats orders in addition to his vague communication allegations regarding Bouchard. He, however, told the publication that he thought Musk was constantly keeping track of his real-time whereabouts and that, on a whim, the billionaire might use Uber Eats to stop him from getting delivery orders, as reported by Daily Mail.
