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.

    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.

        Same. People who say “you can never condone assassination attempts” are idiots. We make movies about people who tried to kill future dictators.

          Imagine looking at Dollar Tree Hitler and not thinking that the world would be better without him. I’m not “condoning” violence, but I fucking get it.

          “We tried to kill Hitler” is basically it’s own genre; let’s not act like those actions don’t have merit on the eyes of a larger population than many people think.

      I think we can all agree that not enthusiastically agreeing with every stupid thing Trump says is exactly the same as calling for violence. In fact, not rolling over and letting Trump have whatever he wants is the greatest sin and makes the (insert bad descriptor) Left the REAL fascists!
