Elon Musk, the billionaire king of bad takes, came up with a new one to cement his reign on Sunday night.

Responding to a second potential assassination attempt on Donald Trump’s life, the X owner questioned why no one was trying to kill the Democratic president and vice president.

“And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala,” he posted, adding a thinking-face emoji.

A near-instantaneous firestorm of criticism predictably followed, with several people telling him to “delete your account” and others tagging the U.S. Secret Service’s X account.

      Nonsense. The Cybertruck is absolutely trustworthy.

      All you have to do is drive it on the roads, while it’s sunny, possibly not dusty. And avoid any amount of water. ANY.

        Might be accessory to murder, since they’re wear more likely to kill pedestrians and other road users than the owners.

        Definitely character assassination though.
