Elon Musk Faces Firestorm Over ‘Appalling’ Assassination ‘Joke’ About Biden, Harris

Elon Musk drew fierce backlash on his own X (formerly Twitter) platform for what was slammed as an “appalling and indefensible” response to an apparent second attempt on the life of former President Donald Trump, the current GOP presidential nominee.

Per the FBI, Trump was the subject of “what appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in Florida on Sunday, some nine weeks after he was injured when shots were fired during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Musk posted: “And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.”  (he put the emoji that looks like it's thinking in his text)

The billionaire, who has 197 million followers, added a thinking-face emoji.

I guess the irony is lost on the DUmmies.

Seems more like an astute observation to me, rather than a joke.

I was able to easily recognize what Musk was saying...  "who is violent and who isn't?".
I will concede that he could have structured it better so DUmb people could understand it. But then again, political opportunity is really the only goal they ever have in mind so it would make no difference.

Exactly. Kammie & Timmie are not in danger. Because that is what Rs and conservatives are.
