Tech billionaire Elon Musk has been labelled the “richest troll on Earth” by a top gun safety advocate.
Since Musk took over Twitter in a £37 billion deal last year, he has allegedly allowed controversial posts to run riot on the platform under the guise of free speech.
And the Tesla founder has even posted some of his own shocking thoughts and personal images on the site.
One of which was of his bedside table featuring a can of coke, and an unlocked gun – which looked real at the time but later turned out not to be.
This image has been slammed by Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jamie was murdered during the deadly Parkland School shooting in 2018.
Seventeen people died during the shocking incident, and shooter Nikolas Cruz was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
Speaking about Musk's image and tweet, Guttenberg told Bloomberg Quicktake's Emma Barnett during an interview: “It actually doesn't matter whether it (the gun) was real or not, because the message is what matters.
“It's so strange now watching what Elon Musk is turning himself into. He is a business person who I was so mesmerized by for so many years, who I thought did the coolest things.
“If he had a vision, I automatically thought that if Elon Musk things he can pull it off, I'll be you he can.
“I looked at him that way until his pursuit of Twitter and what he has turned it into, which is a cesspool of indecency and the worst of humanity.
“Why he's behaving like the richest troll on Earth instead of this successful business person that he had previously been, I can't make sense of – but I hope he fails.”

Haven’t had any of my kids killed due to violence, but if it did happen, I would STILL have a difficult time going on a quest to destroy the country over it.
Fred would have a stroke if he saw my nightstand.
Fred Guttenberg == attention whore.
Agreed
Sounds like this guy is a communist.
I hope Gutenburg loses every other relative to gunshots before he, himself is killed.
The New Trump - LOL but Spot on - Rumor has it that Elon is in Trump’s corner
If you’re triggered by a fake gun, you might want to re-evaluate your priorities.
It's a shame about his gene pool. /s
ReEEee Ree ReEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Nah! DeSantos won't have the Trump/Musk problem. They are both businessmen, he's just a politician. His brain is not wired like those two geniuses.
A real father would be working hard to get Nicky Cruz out on bail, and would be totally unconcerned when little Nicky "skipped bail" and was never able to be found again.
That father would occasionally review the home movie (muted, of course) that he kept in a wall safe, and would emerge smiling after the viewing, secure in the knowledge that losing the bail surety was well worth it. 
So because this dude’s daughter was murdered by a liberal lunatic he’s now an expert on gun violence?
Let’s be serious. The dude is an azzhat and his opinion is worth the same amount of money as a wooden nickel.
Oh goody.
Another screech from a member of the “How dare you!” mob.
Not you, NWFree!
The dad.
Every responsible gun owner is a ‘gun safety advote’
What they mean is he is an anti gun nutjob.
“... under the guise of free speech.”
Dead giveaway that the author is a commie.
Yee Haw cowboy! Yippee-ki-yay Mortar Forker. Rollin, rollin, rollin, keep that Spaceman trollin — your hide!
FOAD Fred Guttenberg
If his daughter had been armed she might still be alive.🤔
