Tesla CEO Elon Musk is being investigated for his now-deleted post questioning the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump.
Musk’s post caught the attention of the Secret Service after he questioned the lack of attempts on the lives of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” Musk wrote on X.
The X owner then followed up with a reply to his own post, writing: “Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X.”
Musk’s post was then swiftly deleted.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates responded to Musk’s post, saying, “As President Biden and Vice President Harris said after yesterday’s disturbing news.”
“There is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country,’ and ‘we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence.'”
Bates described Musk’s post as “irresponsible,” adding that violence should “only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about.”
Meanwhile, the Secret Service confirmed it was investigating Musk based on his remarks on the assassination attempt.
“The US Secret Service is aware of the social media post made by Elon Musk and as a matter of practice,” an agency spokesperson told the Independent.
“We do not comment on matters involving protective intelligence.”
The Secret Service said in a statement it “investigates all threats related to our protectees.”
As expected, the liberal media also piled on Musk for his post.
Wired called the Space X CEO’s posts “could be interpreted as a call to murder President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris,” and even went as far as to brand him a “national security risk.”
Meanwhile, on MSNBC, Silicon Valley investor Roger McNamee called for Musk to face criminal charges.
“You have somebody who runs a really strategic defense and aerospace projects for the federal government who’s actively undermining the government that’s paying him,” McNamee said.
“And somewhere in that is a legal case that needs to be prosecuted.”
Hasn’t the Secret Service got better things to do other than investigating a billionaire?
Perhaps they should start investigating themselves for security incidents that led to former President Donald Trump’s almost assassination.
Intimidation can be a powerful tool against the weak minded..
I don't think Elon Musk can be intimidated in any way, shape or form...
Exactly. Musk is saying that Biden & Harris are safe.
Investigate those who are being assasinated. Follow the activities of the ruling class, and their minions in the SS, and we will know who ordered this.... Probably goes right back to Jill, Hunter and Mr. DiaperDude. Washington is the magnet attracting the worst of the worst.
..."And somewhere in that is a legal case that needs to be prosecuted."
They want more money and resources so they can waste it investigating Musk. What a joke.
Musk was implicating the ruling class elites and globalists by his words.
However, do not mistake Musk as our guy. Everything he has been involved in to become the world’s first T-aire was centered on Government contracts and incentives. Well, except for Douge Coin.
I fear that we have been forced to choose between Trump and the Kamala, and we have been duped into believing Musk is a conservative ally. He may turn out to fight the USG but they still butter his bread.
Globalism is on the ballot. Trump is a threat to the NWO WEF UN LGBTQF+.
Biden(s), Ukraine, Blackrock should be investigated by the SS as the obvious leads to both assasination attempts.
I’ve seen it and yes, we are there. The govt contracts comment, etc. to Musl is to threaten him. These people are the dangers to “Democracy”.
Secret Service people still wondering what they do?.
Sorority
Sisters
ABC - Kamala?
Both organizations are stove pipe institutions of two different governments... Germany in the 30s and 40s, and the US Secret Service. As America becomes a two tiered justice system, our SS is quickly morphing into an enforcer organization like that of the Germans. They are at the top of the hierarchy co-dependent upon the highest levels of government for their existance; the highest levels of government need the SS to protect them from “a better version of themselves”.
I was certain this was The Bee.
How does The Bee stay ahead of realty? The writers earn every penny.
Anyone want to know what a commie takeover would look like?
It was a stupid, careless remark. I understood his point, but the point could have been made differently, without mentioning our “leaders.”
However, do not mistake Musk as our guy.
Journalist Whitney Webb holds the same view. The PayPal mafia, those in on the ground floor all became billionaires, Musk is one of them.
Some support the “right” , some the “left” . Webb asserts the billionaires have more in common than they do differences. Peter Thiel , the billionaire that has guided and molded JD Vance to who he is today, is a perfect example.
Peter made billions selling spyware , to whom exactly , the CIA and the FBI ? No way 😂🤡 Two sides , both pushing for Big Brother, citing the other side as the reason Big Brother is needed.
Webb contends Right or Left, this Billionaire Club doesn’t lose, as they back both sides.
Anarcho-tyranny
They should investigate threats against President Trump once in a while.
I would not be surprised at all if they were to disappear Elon within the next month.
The fact is that it is zlways liberals that try to assassinate presidents, never republicans. Republicans just post stuff, and never actuslly do what they say they are going to, while liberals go out and try to do what they post about.
But by the st Bernards it’s the Republicans only who are labelledlabeled as “domestic terrorists who need investigating and careful monitoring” and never the actual unhinged, mentally unstable left who have histories of violence and crimes, and who were known to law enforcement long before their despicable acts.
Fake outrage. The left hates Musk almost as much as they hate Trump, and are making a mountain out of a molehill.
They don’t have the manpower to investigate the entire Democrat empire so they go after their enemies again.
