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.
Webb has become a loon. If we all listen to her, everyone is deep state.
Hey, maybe she is too.
Where are all of the SS investigations of these evil minions? ....
Really? You LIARS!!!
We aren’t duped into thinking Musk is a republican ally, but we do see him as a free speech, constitution loving ally
“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.’”
So they don’t like it when their ox is gored, it would seem.
Payback is going to suck so hard.
“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.”
Excellent reality. With one hand he shows us what we want to see, while the other hand he is hiding behind his back is building the proverbial Skynet global spy network. He is playing both sides. Musk was recruited into the NWO club after spending only two days at Stanford. Huge red flag... They gave him a right straight to go card.
“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.’”
Battle rattle gear queers at five AM if you’re a lawyer or administrator who worked for Trump not withstanding…
“I would not be surprised at all if they were to disappear Elon within the next month.”
Yes, they are past the point of just lying and cheating, they are now physically eliminating threats to their agenda.
FTA———Hasn’t the Secret Service got better things
to do other than investigate the loquacious Elon Musk?
Perhaps they should start investigating themselves for security failures
that led to President Donald Trump’s two assassination attempts (to date).
Surprise——you’re in Bidenland.
This book is for me.
“could be interpreted as a call to murder”
Like “Trump is exactly like Hitler”? Or “danger to democracy”? Because if true, surely such a person should be killed.
Talk about selective outrage.
It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?
And what was his point anyway? For Trump being the terrible inciter, why is he the only one getting shot at?
Maybe because the people supposedly protecting Trump are instead chasing down anybody who actually seeks to protect him by pointing out the obvious.
Well-done!
Nope...will make him stronger.
I guess they decided to fight back permanently following the Kennedys and King murders.
"Undermining" the government must be a felony. If it isn't, we are going to pretend that it is.
It's OK to advocate killing Trump because he won't start wars to make money.
Aha! A clue! We didn’t have a clue before. We were clueless! But now we know. Elon Musk is the culprit. It’s always the butler, especially if he’s a billionaire tech mogul.
biden and harris have sufficient ss protection
Trump
not so much
We may not have heard about any attempts on Harris and Biden. I’m sure the Secret Service has had to investigate a number of threats on each of our Presidents, VPs, etc. over the years. We have just not heard about all of them.
