Secret Service Probes Elon Musk’s Prez Biden and VP Harris Killing ‘Joke’

Tech billionaire realises that saying things on the internet can be taken differently than expected... in 2024. Is this guy a complete moron?

Revoke his security clearance you cowards.

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"

He also controls the satellites used for communication on battlefields and has already turned them off unilaterally during an important Ukrainian operation in the Black Sea.

He can run Twitter and Tesla into the ground, but SpaceX needs to be nationalized. Its compromise is a national security threat.

I still don't understand how anyone here (or on the internet in general, for that matter) is still asking "Is Elon stupid? Is he a moron?" in response to stuff like this.

Elon's a jackass, but he clearly knows what he's doing with this. He's inciting political violence and then acting like it was an edgy joke as a way to give himself probable deniability. Dude's an asshole, but he's not literally brain dead.

Why? He's Rich? It's ok?

Hey Grok, what's a good recipe for cooking rich people?

That should go well, since the Secret Service are renowned for having a good sense of humour about this sort of thing.

Where’s all that left wing rhetoric inciting violence?

What a giant pussy Trump and Vance are.

Talk about leopards eating your face. This is the leopard eating its own face. This is the violent rhetoric you dumbass motherfuckers.

Now it’s funny— or, at least, I’m laughing

It'd be so cool if it was found out that Musk was an illegal immigrant and he got deported back to south africa.

“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 wrote after deleting the tweet.

“Turns out that jokes are way less funny if people don't know the context and the delivery is in plain text"

Wrong lesson learned Elon, people who laugh at your joke are ass lickers whereas people on X are not

I sort of feel like the CIA should already have a file on him filed to the brim with juicy nuggets they haven't really been able to act on until now.

Explain the joke Leon. What’s the punchline?

It’s a straight up threat / stochastic terrorism from the richest guy in the world. The same guy who has a security team follow him around and whines about people tracking his jet as aSsAsSiNaTiOn CoOrDiNaTeS. And treats the poor and homeless that his exploitation and greed creates as “drug zombies” while he’s constantly on ketamine and other drugs.

I wish I too could know if I've ever been probed by the secret service or some other government agency. I've made some risky jokes on reddit before.

What exactly are they probing? It took me 5 seconds to read the tweet.

Musk is a proven weirdo nutcase. What a collection of weird crazies - Elon, RFK Jr, JD Vance and the orange felon, along with little "Moses", Johnson and the entire House "freedom" caucus.

What's wrong with his wrist?

“Violence should only be condemned, never encouraged or joked about,” the White House said

The irony is thick.

Maybe he will start to get a damn clue.

Fuck Elon, but the White House saying violence should never be encouraged is just rich.

Make sure to forget the lube when probing him. And make him bleed.

Edit> Found the Musk fanboys :)

What a nothing story. Pretty much reads as, "we asked, they said we can't talk about it but if anything happened we're looking into it."

Lonnie sucks. It's too bad I'm not an incredibly rich asshole who can break laws regarding financial stuff, slander, and stochastic terrorism while getting away with it.
