The Secret Service has launched a probe into an X post by Elon Musk in which he tweeted that “no one is even trying” to kill Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

The tech billionaire deleted the post on his X platform and passed it off as a “joke.” However, the White House did not find it funny and instead called it “irresponsible.”

“Violence should only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about,” the White House said in a statement. Now the Secret Service is involved.

    He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.

    He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.

        Doubt it. There are no hard indications that he’s a russian asset. He’s just an asshat.

          Yes, but according to Russian asset, serial killer and couch fucker JD Vance, you can make up any lie about anyone you want as long as you are making a point.
