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.

    I really liked Biden, but now with it turning out the Democrats and Republicans are traitors to the Republic. I just feel bad for the secret service agents that just need a pay check.

      I can’t possibly imagine being this completely uninformed. How do you even dress yourself in the morning?

      excuse me? Please point us to the D traitors. If you’re talking about the two assassination attempts, one was from a maga family and spoke heavily of maga support in school and the other voted for T in 2016 and has made political donations to both R and D, in addition to being very clearly mentally ill.

      Where are the Ds stealing and refusing to give back the most confidential docs possible (such as our nuclear sub capabilities and numbers…), where are the Ds deciding they don’t like election results and spread lies about cheating whilst losing 50+ court cases (some of which appointed by T or R party) because all of them had no standing/evidence. Where are the Ds interrupting the peaceful transfer of power for the first time ever in the history of the nation? Where are the Ds spreading hateful lies about certain minority groups acting like animals and eating other people’s pets? Where are the Ds who continue to rape and defame women while trying to take away their bodily autonomy so they can bleed out in the parkinglot while the doctor waits for the legal window where they can actually try to keep the pregnant miscarrying woman alive?

      ah right, those are all REPUBLICAN traitors. FUCK off with your both-sides strawman bullshit, fascist bootlicker.

        Fuck yeah, fucking say it like it is.

        Fuck the people that think they are the middle man in the grey area that can see both sides. Fuck the people that think “they are just people not all of them hate or believe in everything on one side. It’s not that black and white.”

        This is the kind of shit us people on the left really need to be calling people out for. Fuck the right, fuck Republicans and fuck people that think they are some how different or think they are the voice of reason because they just say false shit.

        “Traitors to the republic” what the fuck is this? Star Wars? These people can get the fuck out of here.

        YOU ARE THE PROBLEM IF YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT! PERIOD.

        Where are the actual trans people molesting kids while we let the fucking religious people do it and albeit their churches are tax free. Where are the dems signing checks to let Russians weasel their way into our elections. Where are the dems letting a convicted felon have immunity. Where are the Dems screaming make America great again while fucking treating people of a different skin color like shit.

        Where is the crazy fucking left these people are talking about the offended snow flakes that just can’t put up with things and cancel everything while meanwhile the fucking right, looking at you Tucker Carlson, screams about how the green M&M is less sexually attractive and that kids these days just don’t like women’s tits. You are a brain dead jackass if you can get on here and tell me the left is as fucking nuts as the right. I mean get over yourself. You say kids these days are weak and can’t even fend for themselves and yet here they are doing so by respecting a woman’s body asking for things to stop being sexualized because my god how dare we say a fucking thing about Jesus or how Christ wasn’t real. Oh and boo hoo your “freedom or speech goes unheard and no one is listening to how you justify the death of women raped and abused because you just don’t think that woman should be able to have an abortion because you are more morally aligned and God would want that kid to end up parent less and abused in a shit system that already doesn’t know how to deal with kids.” Where are the dems claiming drugs are the issue Reagan sure as fuck didn’t give a damn about cocaine but fuck did he ever care about the already abused and mistreated black people doing crack that were segregated in shitty buildings with poorer educational options and needs.

        Where are the fucking dems ramming people with cars the left crazy people killing people all commuting acts of terror at concerts. People like this can fuck off. The only traitor to our system is the convicted president of the United States telling Christians to vote so it will be set and they will never have to vote again. Where are those same dems yelling communism when the fucking billionaire that bought Twitter is genuinely in with the Russians the same Russians built on communism both parties used to be scared of. Republicans don’t even know what a fucking communist is and maybe they would know if they would sit down and read the fucking books they feel don’t need to be in libraries.

        I mean how absolute stupid do you have to be to not see the conspiracy that republicans swear up and down exist right now. The federal government is the enemy out to own you. Well let me lay it out for you Trump is and his party has been trying to do so for 4 years now.

        1. Start with inciting hate and violence against anyone that isn’t white. Now everyone that isn’t white is an enemy.

        2. Be Desantes, start removing educational books and filtering knowledge then when someone speaks our sending cops to their doors. So now you strip the public of education. You do this with bills you start with women, then minorities, then anyone else that isn’t white and a male.

        3. Make it harder to get an abortion, make it harder to speak up about abuse as a woman. Now you have another man in control of the situation filled with hate.

        4. Tell people that if they vote this year they won’t have to vote again. So you start to threaten with weapons, knowledge, abuse, and human rights.

        Where does that put you? Well now you owe the government your loyalty. You have 1 man in power forever, the same thing repubs complain about already that even Dems think shouldn’t happen. Once you have the loyalty you hide history and education saying that the party ever did anything wrong. You filter the Internet results, buy Twitter as the richest person and claim it is a social site of free speech all while inducing assassinations, filtering the same free speech you are against and build a platform of fucking crazy people to.insight that same violence. I don’t know about you but I think it sounds like Trump and his party are the last fucking people you want running the place. Ask China what they did and they make you disappear.

        Fuck people who think they are righteous in the middle and fuck the right. And if I am the crazy Dem or the crazy left person you are so scared of well then I would say I am sane compared to someone yelling about white pride when you can’t even fucking realize your Jesus was black and your Trump fits the bill of the anti-christ. And what do I do about it call you out. What do you do about it claim the fucking immigrants are eating animals and paranoid I am going to take tour guns. The same guns you swear aren’t the issue and that JD Vance says are just the way life is. So you raid a Capitol and kill people. Yeah I would say I am far less scary than you have way more of a reason to say you are the fucking problem.

      Sounds like you better not vote then.

      Note: I’m only giving you this special advice, everyone else definitely should vote.
