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.
Ah, right, the thing that would get normal people put on a list and held in custody if the president traveled through their region just gets the Muskrat “probed”
People make comments like this all the time. Nobody is held in custody for it.
Every normal person is on several lists now regardless of guilt. We just consider that a reasonable search and treat Snowden like a traitor.
Giggity
I’d assume in his case the government already has enough eyes over him that if he were to actually try something they would know it before he even considered sending any threats.
It’s not so much about him personally trying anything though. The problem is that he’s potentially inciting one of the thousands of unhinged people who follow him into doing something.
